STAX SR-Omega Frequency Response and CSD Waterfall Plot Measurements



FYI: I was able to get a good seal on these compared to the other stats.

Wow, now that's interesting. Funky dips in upper-mids and treble. Otherwise extremely flat! The 7kHz seems like it might be an artifact though?

Do you have harmonic distortion figures for these as well?

Wow!  From what you've said before, the two nulls would be artifacts since they don't show up in the CSD's.  So beautiful to see such a flat line.  Makes me tingly in all the right places.

Nice! This is the only Omega that doesn't have those treble 'jaggies'.

Does this Omega belong to Milos? That's a beautiful FR. I haven't seen any other Omega measurements to compare it to however.

This headphone is at the top of my want-list, but I'm still a little hesitant about its fragility...

I mostly talk about music there. Weird.

I actually hear a bit of excess energy in the 7-9k region, ala Lambdas/ 007 mk2.5, but CSDs look clean so who knows.

Mine are going up for sale in a month, CEE TEE has first dibs. I need me some monoblocks for my ESLs!
