Dan and team, have you considered adding an amp to your lineup that can drive Stax headphones?

We haven't discussed it in any depth, but the idea has been kicked around a bit.

That's a start! There are not a lot of offerings out there and nearly zero for DIY amps. Most are based on Kevin Gilmore's designs in the commercial offerings. It would be cool to see what you all could come up with as the community could use a fresh approach.

I think the issue is getting the right transformers. With the right transformers (SE to push pull at the output of the amp) and a bias voltage for the stators, a Sex amp could be easily modified.

BTW I'd love a project like this to unfold.
