ktm Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 I see these over in the other place. $500 Stat, based on pro bias. New offering from India. It said in the thread Spritzer will be getting a set. True, lies, or Trumpism? 1

Come on, the "outstanding" was obviously in response to Birgir saying he was going to get a pair.
ktm Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Posted March 14, 2019 I'm ready for an honest test and complete disassembling of them. Some small part of me hopes that a new headphone that doesn't cost $2000 can sound decent. But, reality is a bitch.
Spychedelic Whale Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Their Instagram story sure is compelling https://www.instagram.com/kaldasresearch/ Now we will just have to wait for spritzer meh or yeh.
chinsettawong Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 The driver looks very well built. I'll get a pair too. 4

catscratch Posted March 15, 2019 Report Posted March 15, 2019 If this works out and is good, I'll most likely get a pair too. Definitely appreciate the transparency from the manufacturer. My only concern at this point is the detachable cable. I'm not sure if high voltage bias lines, detachable cables, and aftermarket cable manufacturers that have no clue what they're doing are a good mix. Otherwise looks very promising.

I agree but the system is fairly safe due to the orientation of the male and female. There's no real way to get shocked even if a certain Aftermarket cable builder screws up Bias with + or -. Let's say they manage the impossible and intentionally try to get shocked. Due to the inherent lack of current and thanks to our reflex action, you might get a cute shock which will only affect someone emotionally for their poor skill of Electronics handling. Thank you for your kind words. I am trying my best to get a unit out to Spritzer as soon as I can for the Stax community. I understand that there's a lot of crap coming out nowadays and it's hard to build trust. I am an enthusiast as well. My personal collection includes an original SR-1, Sigmas and many other vintages. 4
Scgorg Posted March 15, 2019 Report Posted March 15, 2019 Wait, you own an SR-1, are you the guy with the "MrTechAgent" youtube channel? I've quite enjoyed some of your videos on vintage cans if that is the case.

Mach3 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 Hi Aumkar Chandan, Just curious. What did you use as a reference to tune the RR1?

Hi, I didn't have a reference per se. My main goal was to improve on the Low-Frequency extension compared to most STAX out there and we achieved that. Here are the graphs vs the 009. I wouldn't get into my subjective opinions but I've had two people, one 007 MK1 and MKII owner come and place an order on the spot and another 009 owner who also couldn't tell apart the 009 from the RR1 apart from the LF response being more extended on the RR1. Anyway, here is the link with the Measurements (I have an upload limit here) - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3rev8hq54sd3feu/AACb7Zs1DFcKZFYhs3co7Ecta?dl=0 1
Mach3 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks for the posting the measurement. looks like I will joining the 007 owner. 1
n_maher Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 Aumkar, welcome to the forum. I went ahead and tagged you as a Member of the Trade and gave you a custom title to better identify you to the members as a representative of your company. Enjoy your time here and best of luck with the launch of your headphones. 2
Jon L Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 Wow, I didn't realize it's been more than 10 years! since I took a chance and ordered HE Audio EH 1.2B electrostats. Dare I order another new 'stat?
morphsci Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 Hmmm, unless these totally suck, at $500 they seem like a no-brainer.
