I am quite remember many years ago when the first time I saw the advertisement flyer contain of the Sennheiser HD800 headphone, it instantly blew me away by just looking to the design. This is an expensive headphone that cost US$1,500. At that time, I believe this would be the best headphone in the world.
Ever since, the HD800 is become my dream headphone, until I got it on my hands right now.
But will this headphone fulfilled my long audiophile dream?
Let's continue.
When you hear the name STAX headphone amplifier, first things comes in mind is the electrostatic headphone which is made in Japan and expensive.
It is all make sense since STAX never selling their unit cheap, same with many of the Japanese product as well.
Speaking for the STAX headphone amplifier, I have one long time ago here, but the entry level STAX headphone amplifier and I can say it sound really good. The sound is so much open, larger soundstage, so much detail and very natural music presentation. I may called it the STAX sound signature.
But if I get a cheap old STAX headphone amplifier that intended use for the professional, will it sound better then what I have before?
Before jump to that conclusion, lets see the unit that I just got here first.
