Stax SR-L700Mk2 Earspeakers

NZ$2700 – Our personal review.

Stax SR-L700Mk2 Earspeakers

As the means to the end of enjoying the highest levels of fidelity Stax SR-L700Mk2 Earspeakers are hard to beat. As the name suggests, the Stax are far more than headphones and their design overcomes many of the issues of both conventional loudspeakers and headphones. While the ‘700’s may sit in the middle of the Stax range, they draw upon both elements in the flagship models and the long heritage of design that makes the brand unique to deliver remarkable value. The concept of personal listening is more relevant now than ever with the advent of high quality streaming giving you a whole new world of music to listen to. And at the same time analogue technology enjoys a renaissance driven by the competition. The Stax earspeakers allow you to enjoy the best of all worlds while being completely compatible with almost all existing systems.

There are no sampling limits in analogue. You have the ability to make continual improvements to any analogue system, revealing more music with ever greater fidelity.

The Best of Turntables

When you start to investigate a new record playing system today you’ll quickly find that you are spoilt for choice. We have listened to and sold many turntables over the years. What makes a system sound good comes down to some very simple principles – –the quality of design being most important….

Well Tempered Labs

All about the The Well Tempered record playing system – doing it differently

We’ve previously focused on specific components within the Well Tempered range but now want to introduce you to the complete Well Tempered Record playing system options; Do you get an even better result by choosing to run with a single designer’s vision, and is the end result more than the sum of the parts? Plus we’ll make a direct comparison to digital.

The Value of a Phono Stage

The importance and performance gains to be had by selecting a better phono stage or amplifier are easy to underestimate. Until you hear them. Having the personal experience of stepping through a broad range of both cartridges and phono stages it has become obvious that the effect of the latter is at least as much as that of a cartridge. And that the benefit of improving both is cumulative– i.e. you’ll get better value and sound from your turntable system by considering both.

Choosing Your Cartridge

The stylus and cartridge are very much the business end of any record playing system, being in direct contact with the LP and converting the physical movement of the stylus into the electrical signal which flows through your hifi system. So your choice of phono cartridge will have an immediate and direct bearing on the sound you hear. There are a myriad of optiopns from entry level Nagoaka to state of the art – we’ve got the perfect choice for almost every turntable and level of expectation.
