I listened a lot to normal SR-X mk3 out of SRA-12S in the last two three weeks and I really enjoyed them. How do X1 compare to SR-X do they have similar sound signature of are these are still more like new Stax stuff.

So nothing really special about them? Interesting, my uncle has a pair of Pawel speakers with Görlich drivers from them. They sound very nice.

What is the red amp that Jecklin is suing with Stax headphones in this picture?

What do you guys think about this amp? Did any one here try it? https://bottlehead.com/product/stat-electrostatic-headphone-energizer/

So I run out of Stax Sigma replacement earpads. Are replacements still obtainable?

Anyone playing No Man's Sky here? https://www.nomanssky.com/living-ship-update/

I was comparing Koss to Sony ECR500 and Sony surprisingly still sounds very good. I would say not as good as Koss, but very liquid with lower end authority and good soundstage, and this is with default "sweaty" pads. This makes me think that new pads on Sony will make them sound better and make them that much more comfortable. Anyone know how if someone makes pads for ECR500? Maybe Vesper Audio can do make them? I think SR-007 style pads would work. Spritzer, did you ever swap pads on ECR500? What style worked?

How much do these angled earpads go for? Now I need to look through all of my cables boxes to see if I still have that koss to stax adapter.

Out of the box and based on my somewhat fuzzy memory of the original set that I had these sound a bit better with a bit more lower mids. Pads are not very good but, and it's a big but, they are not sweaty like the original pleather shit. Where can I get nice angled pads for these?

Looks interesting. If reviews are positive I am getting a pair.

Good to know. Now if I can find that adapter that I had, hopefully I did not sell it.

I miss my ESP950 that I sold a few years back, so I ordered this thing as well. ? Still waiting for it to come. Can I still run these off Stax amp using an adapter or did they change something?

The SRD-313 with SR-303 sounds plenty good to me, no surprising that they sold this as a system. I was also surprised how nice SR-5NB sounds when compared to SR-X that I had, much more comfortable to boot.

This explains what I am seeing inside. Thanks a lot. Now to try it out with SR-5, O2 and Sigma and whatever I can dig out from my closet.

They better be with all that artificial stone stuff.

No clear indication on what is inside but I would bet it's some kind of labyrinth, not BLH, but more of a transmission line type of a deal since they have that type of bass response, since there is an opening on the bottom.
