So just an update re. my 009 problems. Sent back to Stax, huge respect to them for the turn around time. Received back today as new, working perfectly with my superb Mjolnir KGSShv Carbon. I'm back to where I want to be.
Thanks for the response, unfortunately I don't have any other phones to check that. I kind of discounted the amp, as the problem continues when the amp is switched off for a short while
I'm a Stax newbie. Actually my first Stax purchase was in 1969! I'm also insane I think. So in the last few weeks, 009, Stax amp, (big mistake didn't know about this amazing DIY community) now Birgir Carbon superb!! But I'm going to pull the trigger on this one, how could you not??
OK, serious apologies if this is a repeat. My Birgir Carbon is superb. Who can build me a T2? I've really gone down the rabbit hole without any diy skills.
