When the fluctuating voltage of the audio signal is applied to the electrodes, as in a MartinLogan speaker, the diaphragm is pulled and pushed.

Simply put, it's a push-pull driver system. Stax Japan refers to its electrostatic headphone designs as "Earspeakers." The electrostatic transducer in a Stax Earspeaker consists of two "parallel-arranged fixed electrodes," between which is suspended a low-mass, high-polymer film that is less than 2µm thick. Plug a CD player or any other line-level source into one of the Stax amplifier's inputs, plug the Omega II headphones into one of the outputs, and you have a complete, high-performance system for private listening. Major Tom had performed his review with Stax's SRM-T1S tube amplifier the Omega II is available with either (or both!) of two new amplifiers/"energizers"-the SRM-007t tubed driver or the SRM-717 solid-state driver. He was particularly impressed by the fact that the "somewhat etched, crisp quality" of the older Stax Lambda headphones had been replaced by "a more relaxed, more natural, yet more subtly detailed" presentation. Tom Norton wrote about the original Omega in the March 1995 Stereophile. Which is why JA felt I'd be an ideal candidate to review Stax's Omega II. Later, I added a pair of Sennheiser's superior HD 600s. You get the transformer output of the amp on the headphone jack. Then, brightening (and wanting to drown out the movies K-10 watches while I write), I put together a system comprising a Cary CAD-300SEI integrated driven by a matched pair of Western Electric 300Bs and running Sennheiser HD580 headphones. Sennheiser's Ultimate Lust Beast sounded even better than it looked-and it started with the turn of a key! After it went away, I forswore headphones for three months and wore nothing but black. But I'll never forget the musical thrills. Never mind-the Orpheus is out of production anyway.
Sennheiser wanted nine grand for my beat-up ol' review unit-which, I assure you, had seen better days. When it was time to give them back, I inquired about the price. Yes, I had those 'phones and their bespoke deco tube wonderbox for three wonderful months. I recalled the Orpheus's heady, open, fast, and colorfully wideband sound, and clutched my palpitating heart. I fondly recalled my headphone reference for all time-the Most Fabulous and Seductive Sennheiser Orpheus tubed electrostatics, which Thomas J.

"Preaching to the converted," I sighed to myself as I read the manual for the Stax Omega II Earspeaker headphone system.
