head-fi stax大燒的聽感
arnaud
Thank you @pokemonn for the quick translation of the video from Suzuki-san! I was unable to like your post due to "security error" so here is my appreciation in words .
I've seen the T8000 yesterday at the Fujiya festival, it looks fantastic with the sand blasted finish in the aluminum front panel and other selectors.
The feet with rubber isolators make the amp very stable, I could plug / unplug phones without worrying about the amp sliding.
釘腳只是基本款的橡膠材質,應該有燒友蠢蠢欲動了
I had a quick chat with Suzuki-san (chief engineer) who made it to the show but I could not dare translate as I fear I misundertood what he told me in Japanese (I am not electrical engineer).
In regards to sonic impressions, considering the unfamiliar music, short audition time and background noise, I can only give very rough/initial statement. I kept switching between the T8000 and the SRM727 which I owned for several years before the BHSE. I used the SR009 on display since that's my sole home HP these days.
I will say this: the sonic difference between these 2 amps was far greater than what I recall when comparing the rest of the Stax line. In fact, I'd surmise the difference between SRM727 and T8000 is more akin to the jump I made when going from my 727A (unmodded) to my Blue Hawai.
初聽之下的印象,727 > T8000的跳級感近於727 > BHSE
What jumped at me yesterday on the T8000 was in particular the much added impact and firmness of the bass and more natural female voice. The T8000 immediately sounded fuller, more organic, while the 727 sounded dryer (very obvious on female voices).
There's no way for me make comparisons with my BHSE but there's no question that the T8000 sounds very different from the 727, much better from the little I could hear.
The T8000 also sounded more spacious (the SR009 sounded more open than I am used to) but I'd want to evaluate this at home to be certain.
空間感非常好,可能比BHSE強,需要更進一步確認
Last there was not a single trace of hardness or emphasize in the mids/upper-mids. The SR009 sounded in fact warmer on the T8000 than what I am used to at home. Not sure if this is all amp related or also in parts from the player, SR009 sample (brand new unit it seemed, mine's from 2011).
中頻,中高頻毫無硬質感與凸出,相比作者自家,現場的試聽系統是偏暖的,不確定是耳擴還是其他因素導致
On a side note, I also met with Sasaki-san (sales director) who was very friendly as usual and new faces. In particular, Shimizu-san who handles domestic sales and Douglas lp who handles international distribution (some of you have seen him at previous shows in the US etc...). We had great discussions, and it feels to me like Stax is trying more and more to listen to its customers and things are evolving. As an example, there is no price distortion between Japan and the other markets for the T8000.
Overall, a very very nice time spent at the Stax booth yesterday .
Cheers,
Arnaud
