The SRM-1 is a class A amp so it will run rather hot.

I'm sorry to say but APL are on the same level as SP and that is definitely not a good place to be. I still haven't heard back from them about my player acting up in late March but I just fixed it myself so I don't care but I will never contact them again about anything.

The T1 is ok as a budget amp for the Mk1 and I prefer it to the 007t. Yup, it's a SRA-14S. There aren't that many out there but expect to see a hefty price paid for what is basically a SRM-1 Mk2 in a larger chassis and with more features. Very expensive new though...

Depends on the plate resistors but this basic design shouldn't be to hard to keep cool.

That's a shame since it could be a great alternative to the Woo and RSA A-10 at a much, much lower price.

Good thing that it was removed since that wasn't a platform for bashing Stax, Koss or Senn. I'd certainly welcome him here to discuss the design and any future development of cans and/or amps. Btw. Are then any news on the Little Dot ESP amp?

I really want them to succeed and bring those that like the Senn sound an alternative. I do have some reservations about the design such lack of air damping inside the stators, earpad shape and chassis design but these are the same reservations I have with the Senn HE's. Mr. HE does have the chops to pull off a good design (the various prototypes are the proof of that) so lets just hope he doesn't stop here and then drops that Head-direct idiot. I'd go with the 717 instead. The 007t is far to weak and soft sounding to do the SR-007 justice.

I've never heard a HE owner claim that the HE is better then the 007 so I guess he just alienated a lot of potential customer by pulling this crap. Not that they are going to sell a lot with them priced close to the 007 and HE60. I do wonder how much of that is dealer markup...

15 is small scale... I'd really like to try to build a Sigma on the 4070 chassis with that arc assembly. Whether is would require ports at the back of the driver or just ports in the baffle is tough to say but it could be done. I'm happy though with the Omega soundstage and the varying degrees I get from the SR-007 Mk1, Omega/007 hybrid and the SR-Omega. They are very nice indeed and a good improvement over both the normal and Pro bias Sigmas. The next one I'll build will use SR-303 parts so that I can see if it makes any difference as the cable is a much better match to the Sigma color scheme. The SR-007 Mk1 is simply in a class of their own so I'm very much weary of the recent declarations in the HE Audio thread on HF.

I do love the Sigma's and will build a few 404's in the future but they don't get much use. Collecting gets tiresome after a while and espcially when the funds can be put to better use making the system better as a whole instead of spreading it out. It was fun though... There is that small bit and all the DIY amps that I'm slowly working on. The DIY BH will be on the expensive side if I go ahead and build it with all 8 HV power supplies... and that's not counting bias supplies.

That's basically it. I did change the PSU caps as well with some stuff I had on hand but that was purely for safety reasons since the amp was used 24/7. I should update my profile though since that amp is gone now and my last T1 is up for sale... My wast electrostatic collection is in a sorry state with only 3 Omegas left, a SR-003 and enough parts to make up a few Lambdas. Then there are only two amps, 717 and 007t. :'(

No good ones but I have the schematic... It's clear that the newest Coriolan2 (or WTF it is called) is the same with parallel connected triodes on the output.

That would be easier then the involve Jesus in all of this. An Egmont is nothing but two triodes capacitor coupled together with no NFB or ground reference, crappy PSU and a bias supply that will kill your phones. I could do that...

Thanks guys!!! It's actually not that much bigger then a 717/007t, well each box that is. The amp is (W)262*(H)162*(D)438mm and the PSU a bit smaller. The T1 has it as well but it's labeled PRE HEAT on that one. The T2 must use a version of the same delay circuit.

Good point but I was talking more about Rudistor as a whole where they claim the 50

Indeed... I had a mild panic attack when I saw it and my wallet tried to self destruct... For those that don't know this was the TOTL Stax system back in 1994 and could be considered the answer to the Orpheus. They don't excist on the same dimension though with Stax rewriting the rulebook with both items. When old Stax went under in 1995 they had sold about 300 SRM-T2's and about 500 SR-Omegas when it took Sennheiser 15 years to sell all 300 of the Orpheus. The Blue Hawaii is based on that amp with the power it can output though it doesn't use tubes in the first stage as Stax did.

Classic Rudistor, cheap parts, badly made and designs that are way past their sell by date. Top it off with a cheap chassis and a high pricetag so that everybody thinks that they aren't crap. Well everybody that thinks Markl and Sovkiller aren't idiots any way. Somebody needs to tell that fucktard that 90

Done

If you need to edit something like links in old posts then contact the mods but otherwise we must own up to our crap...

Woot I'm clean in some way! We have pretty much every conceivable alternative fuel project going on here and those hydrogen buses are something else. It looks like methanol will be the next project in cooperation with Mitsubishi. It's kind of ironic that we are gearing up for some major oil research... The SR-007 Mk2 is a bit easier to drive then the Mk1 so the SRM-1 Mk2 should work fine as a stop gap.

Holy crap!!!! Detailed internal pics or I'll send the Stax Mafia after you... not that I have any power over a Stax Mafia if there even was such a thing...

I'm guessing they weren't cheap... They will all need to be refurbished due to the design so that makes them even more expensive.

Pfffttt.... This isn't the first heads up PM I've sent about this place... We always need more experienced members here.
