The Computer Audiophile Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Thanks George! As big of fan as I am of the RAAL-requisite SR1a, I'll always have a soft spot for Stax. I'll always listen to them at audio shows. Who knows, perhaps I need a pair of these as well :~) Danny Kaey 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 1 minute ago, PeterG said: Separate from the question of actual durability--Stax, like RAALs, give the definite sensation that they need to be handled with much more care than the more typical headphone design of, say, Focal Utopias and countless models from lower performance tiers. I skip the recommended storage box, but I do cradle my Stax with two hands so they do not twist as I pick them up on the shelf. The RAALs I demoed were even trickier. I think this is a small sacrifice to get unparalleled sound quality--from either Stax or RAAL, depending on your taste--but it's a pretty obvious weakness. Speaking of the RAALs, you can handle them like a bull in a china shop. Check out this video. andrewinukm 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
