Driving an Omega with SRD-7 Pro might not be the best idea, it will sound dark while loosing some detail ability as well. With a speaker amp like a Beta22 it might be better but then you are better off with a 717 or a KGSS. Custom transformers also work better than the Stax ones.

Happy Birthday Beefy!

Happy birthday Marc!

Is it true that somebody did manage to copy the SR-Omega drivers? I remember reading something like that in the HeAudio thread.

Is this thread dead or what? Where are all the stat fanatics? I just came across this page (I don't know if it was already linked before): [ コンデンサヘッドフォン自作プロジェクト ] Can somebody translate whether the guy managed to make the SR-Omega driver or failed? The google translate is messy as usual.

Nice! Now you only need a BHSE to drive the beasts

Happy birthday!

I had the SR-404 LE for a week (borrowed it from my friend) and I think that this is the phone the normal SR-404 should have always been. But I think the premium for it is a bit too much. I'd rather have a normal bias Lambda if I could find one (But I only heard the 404LE with my T1S, maybe it is much better on a moar powerful amp, different source, etc...).

Happy Birthday!

Happy breads-day!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Ian!

Happy birthday!

You can use both normal bias and pro bias phones with it but you can kill a normal bias phone as well, if you plug it into a pro bias socket. It is probably not a wide PC-OCC just the normal one so - in theory - it should degrade the SQ a bit unlike the current extension cables.

I tend to agree completely. But after hearing it with a 717, one can instantly tell that it is an amp that was designed with the O2 in mind.

Happy birthday, Tyll!

SRM-717

This was the 'Concorde moment' of Stax, and probably it will always be. Beautiful.

The black ones were a later series made by new Stax methinks.

Happy Birthday to both of you!

The 007t's main 'problem' is called 717 I guess.

It should sound the same as the SRM-T1S. And since that particular amp was packed with an SR-Omega which was made by old Stax, there should be no cost-cutting involved.

I ask it again: anybody interested in a group buy for that?
