Stax SRM-400S Solid State & SRM-500T Tube Headphone Amplifiers

I don’t know about you, but recently I find myself having to contemplate things that only a few short years ago would have been considered utterly unthinkable, pandemics included. If, for a moment (and strictly for the purposes of this review), one decides to extrapolate the current unfortunate experiences, it shouldn’t be too hard to imagine the following: The civilisation as we know it is no more. You’re cooped up within your ever-narrowing four walls by a rampant deadly virus, while an unruly mob pouring down the street in front of your house is baying for blood and declaring unyielding allegiance to all kinds of snake oil remedies and salesmen of salvation. When you really think of it, the only reasonable action anyone could take in that situation would be to put on some music and enjoy whatever the time is left to be had. On the other hand, you wouldn’t want to draw too much attention to yourself (mobs are, after all, fickle and easily provoked) so you’d probably decide against blasting the neighbourhood with your fancy speakers and you’d therefore reach for your fine headphones instead, and in this case, driven by inimitable Stax amplification.

The SoundStage! Australia Products Of The Year Awards 2021

I love where I hang my hat. It’s a part of Australia where the beauty and drama of the landscape lures countless visitors from around Australia and the world. It’s a soul-invigorating locale where the land’s palettes and panoramas are ever-changing. The tall, coarse sandstone cliffs often veiled with ghostly mists which are there and then… not. The dense, ragged bush skirting shimmering waterfalls, the unique wildlife… yes, I’m smitten. I also appreciate the importance and inherent meaning of the location where I rest my head. Respect. It’s Ngurra (country) to the Gundungurra and Darug people who continue their traditional custodianship of the land. Kedumba. Place of the shiny, falling waters. Or, lost-in-translation, Katoomba.
