soldermizer Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Hi folks, the Soldermizing itch has started again...I am in possession of a Stax SRM-1/Mk 2 "energizer" that, apparently, is in perfect working condition. Still, that is no reason not to f*** with it! Elsewhere, here or on one of the other "headphone" sites, I found guides to such things as re-biasing the unit (mine is a tad off), and thanks to (uh...) the person who pointed me to a schematic of this unit. The SRM-1 looks fairly basic and is within reach of my admittedly dodgy soldering skills. I would like to, at minimum, replace the power supply caps. Also, there are 13 (to my count) little caps that could be replaced. I would like to replace them with good quality caps but not the crazy expensive ones (besides, a PIO won't fit!) ... I understand that the power supply elecrolytics are the top priority. Any suggestions for buying the film/other caps? Also a parts list would be great if anyone has one to share. Quote
swt61 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 I'm still not convinced that Head-Fi isn't a better fit for you. Quote
soldermizer Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 Trying to get rid of me already, eh I think I did mean to post this question on head-fi. I will do that. If anyone is interested, here is the repair history that got me inspired (deluded?) http://www.head-fi.org/products/stax-srm-1-mk2/reviews Quote
Fitz Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 I'm still not convinced that Head-Fi isn't a better fit for you. Maybe a bit of anal lube so HC would fit him better, y'think? Quote
