Reply to comment by The_Incredible_Rook in Stax SR-L500 + SRM 353X: Audiophile Nirvana. by The_Incredible_Rook

Yeh I really do cos I’ve never just been able to plop that much money on headphones ever again. There’s a set of HD580 and this Heed Audio Can Amp at home still so I’m not completely out of the game. It was a solid sacrifice, but man those Stax headphones are in a different world.

Can imagine, would love to get my hands on some vintage Stax stuff... But for now the L500 is keeping me more than satisfied :)

Yeh I’m jealous, they’re just so different to any dynamic set I’ve heard. First ones I ever heard were the SR5 ones I mentioned and they’re nearly 50 year old headphones but the music coming from them was just effortless. I had some really really old set of non-Pro lambda as well. That T1 amp had two Pro holes and one non-Pro hole and ya didn’t have to hook em up through the speakers.

Ah man I really wish I had my Stax stuff still!
