We have them on order, will probably be shipping in early March https://www.headamp.com/order/stax-sr-l300-limited-edition/

just wait till you hear it with "upgraded glass"

don't worry, it's nothing compared to the electricity that bit coin miners are wasting

the T8000 should look pretty sharp in the anniversary edition in black, and its a small footprint. have that on order it shares a chassis with the WA33. i think the enclosures are fixed together and wires run between the enclosure through the footers

Sennheiser and MSB already smashed all records on that

i'm glad that this new round of flagship Stax amps are coming out this year also, going last is going to be fun

happy birthday !

happy birthday!

i have, once..not fun otherwise, wait for them to show up for $100 on ebay

i found an old WE ad from 1916 and it calls electrical outlets "lamp sockets". i realized that i've even heard people use that term in my lifetime, but maybe not since early 90s

i've looked into having a custom tube made, might do it someday, maybe, probably not... the part where it got expensive was that if you're going to sell an elite tube, you have to cherry pick the best ones i would guess that with inflation the original price is probably around $300 per tube

one of my professors showed us some gel like material they had made for space. forget what it was called. it looked like acrylic but was kinda squishy and weighed less than styrofoam. lets use that

I plan to replace mine with panda skin

around +/- 40-50mV in the dynalo

my experience is, maybe, so i would experiment before soldering. depending on your brand of LEDs, causing an intentional mismatch in those can also make up some of the difference -- up to about 50mV with ones i've used. also, it's going to vary depending on transistors used and exactly which amp, but sometimes a perfectly matched amp is not 0mV offset, it's really like -30mV (depending on your gain) due to differences in pnp/npn parts. so this could be why sometimes a slight mismatch actually gives a better result.

has to be dual 3-pin XLR to use the combo TRS jacks for balanced

2sa1201 / 2sc2881 is what i use..you could probably stand them up in TO-92 holes just watch the power

my phone (tapatalk) just said "Justin made Fox News is Trending". At first i got really worried and tried to think if I had done something. Eventually found the thread, didn't know about this

did you pick those at random or match N to P?

happy birthday #!

yes and yes. though i'm not setup right now to match the N pairs to the P pairs plus it's better to do that specifically for the circuit you intend to use unless you can match them perfectly on a curve tracer

not just parts. 30 Years NOS Japanese Transistors.

time to update the pcbs!

you could get this much of the MSB amp
