What amp to power OII, HE60, and HE Audio 'stats?

The 717 is an excellent amp and the best value out there for a pre-built amp. It is basically a KGSS with a few "tweaks" and the stock crappy Stax PSU. Now those "tweaks" could be removed and the amp turned into a KGSS...

There should also be similar mods on the horizon for the 727 just as soon as Craig starts to read my emails...

Yeah I sent him an email asking the price of a SR-001 Mk2 and he didn't reply. Which is cool, since I guess I've decided to wait for the new model.

Stax are updating the SR-001? Color me interested.

I think that DHT's have the potential to make a signifigant improvement in the Stax mids, which, like the K1000, can be a little too cool and thin for some. However, a 2A3 through an SRD-7 is way too small for the job. A 300B isn't big enough either. On the other hand, an 845 might be very interesting. In the end though, you'll never get the full benifit of a DHT out of the SRD-7. I use a lot of transformers in my designs, but there's no way you can run the output of a 16:1 step-down into a 23:1 step-up without degradation. If you're into DIY, Electra-Print makes transformers specifically for this purpose. I'm building a DHT electrostatic amp now. Should be running later this week. You'll see it here.

Exactly but people might like the effect none the less. Stranger things have happened...

OTL fully direct coupled DHT. This is the way

Lots and lots of power supplies.

Not only that but a lot of very expensive DHT's... . I'll build one sooner or later though
