holy crap! the Stax SRM-T2 is like the holy grail of stat amps worth as much if not more than the HE90 ! before Stax went bankrupt it was THE amp for their Omega 1s. so few were made though

Go for it dc. The guy's number is up there now. I could give him a ring and ask him how much if your interested.

no way in hell could i justify dropping that kind of coin on a "hobby"
I'm curious what he considers its worth. there's a T2 in italy somewhere that's been for sale for years.
no doubt due to its asking price of approx US$20,000 iirc

I phoned the guy up, he seems like a nice chap.
He said £10 000 for the Orpheus, it's in absolutely mint condition & £4000 for the Stax inclusive of the headphones.

The guy has just rang me back!!
According to him he's just been offered £6000 in cash for the Orpheus, this is now the benchmark so it will be offers above this price. The Stax set up includes the latest SR-007 headphones.

Incidentally, he seems a bit of a headphone fan. I wonder why he's selling? Probably he's heard the Solo / AKG set up & realises it don't get no better. lol. He's about to make some decent cash though.

Another thing dc, he's well aware that the Stax amp is the ultimate for that particular brand.

I phoned the guy up, he seems like a nice chap. I think what you meant is - "he seems like a nice and wealthy guy"

Another thing dc, he's well aware that the Stax amp is the ultimate for that particular brand. actually that's no longer true. there have been a few designs in recent times that technically surpass the SRM-T2 the fact that he doesn't have the internet may have prevented him from learning about these new amp designs however, because they're so rare i don't think a head to head has ever actually been done the amps in question are the Headamp Blue Hawaii SE, SinglePower ES-1 and ES-2 all fetch healthy sums of money. heck, I was wondering if I should just take the money saved for a deposit on a house and use it to buy some awesome gearz?
