Hifiman Shangri-La, new Electrostatic
Indeed... The whole "getting used to something" doesn't really hold any water for me. Sure you can be fooled for a while (hello HE90!!) but it doesn't last for long. Also stating that the 009 works well with the BH is no surprise, it rolls off after 10kHz....

The Headcase Stax thread
That might not be enough if the plastic latch inside the switch is damaged. Should be easy enough to replace the switch if needed though.

transconductance amp
Yeah, that is kinda the point of the whole thing.

Stax L700
They are the same or similar to the SR-SC1 and some 404's so not bright at all.

The Headcase Stax thread
Someone find me a set of broken 009's and I can figure out what the fuck is going on with the newer Stax. No way I'm going to rip open my sets.. This has to be an issue with the new PEEK diaphragm material though. Properly heat-treated and high tension mylar as Stax have used is very stable indeed. They could also have changed the coating materials as PEEK has very different properties compared to mylar.

Nope if the transformer is of good quality. Those switch mode units I wouldn't touch.

I've not heard anything but I think it would be a good move to continue with them.

I find it quite funny that they use the wide PC-OCC cable and not the thin Lambda Pro cable as all the basic sets have used.

The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!
Only the heaters are different so once that has been accounted for there is no difference.

RIP someone or another
That is sad indeed.

Stax L700
The 4070 is the same or even slightly worse than the Lambdas (due to the extra weight pushing on the earpads) but the Sigma would be ideal.

Necessity amp [edit: ended up M3]
I've been down this road before and it is a dangerous way to DIY, as in I have these two parts, let's spend 400$ on parts for it... As for those specs, the M3? It uses a single brick psu but sounds pretty shitty thanks to the rail splitting.

Adding feedback is just a band aid and likely does more harm than good.

The L700 is not the same driver as the 009. Similar stator structure but that's it.
