Welcome to headfi! Appreciate you sharing your ideas! Subscribing to this thread.
Hi guys,
I like to build another set of headphones, and if possible I would like to have some inputs from you what to do in order to improve my previous design. Since there are so many Stax users here, I would appreciate if some of you who have ever taken dimension measurements of the spacer and stator of Stax headphone can share with me the info. The dimensions will be used as the reference for my future build. I would really appreciate it.

I'll look for 6S4A ...
Hi Spritzer,
Thank you so much for sharing with me the information. 90mm sounds like a nice number to try. For the SR-Omega driver, I guess that its spacer is around 0.9 - 1 mm in thickness, and the bias voltage is probably around 600V. Are the 2 circles in the background the stators? I'll make a new design and post to show you later.
I'll look for 6S4A and try as you suggested.
Thanks again.

Just want to say great job! I've been wanting to make a pair of electrostats but haven't had the money or know how to do it yet. What you have done is amazing and I can't wait to get started making a pair.
On a side note, I remember seeing you on the diy loudspeaker forum. I am very impressed with what you've done and I can't wait to make a pair.

Hi Spritzer,
That's what I think when I see the picture. The stators made up of such fine wires are probably too soft. They will require a lot of support, and will probably ring with high bass or high volume level.
The spacer sitting on top of the recessed stator of 90 mm in diameter would probably have more than 0.5 mm gap to the diaphragm. If that is so, the tension on the diaphragm would have to be very high in order to prevent the diaphragm collapses to one side, and the bass might suffer. Plus if the stator to diaphragm space is indeed only 0.5 mm, then I think that the bias voltage of 580V is a little on the high side.
Anyway, thanks very much for your information. I'll try to design something and come back to show you soon.
