I'm pretty pleased that LT is doing well. Maybe Holmes will be back in good form next week as well, then I can take out my one WR that has done nothing all season.
It's your call. Personally I'm a pretty patient person and can wait for what I really want to come along at a price I'm happy with. Some Ebay and Audiogon sellers think just because they have Stax they're sitting on a gold mine. Probably the same people that have trashed records that think they're sitting on a gold mine.
Keep an eye on Ebay UK and Ebay Germany for the SR-Lambda. Or put a WTB on Headfi. I think I am probably 90% or so with successful WTB ads on Headfi with a few bumps.
Yeah at half the price I would wait for a SR-Lambda normal bias and a SRD-7. $300-350 should be doable and the bias boxes are universal voltage. I don't think the Lambda Pro is anything special.
The CDs in the box set are the remix. The original mix can be found on the first and second Japan pressing CDs. And the first pressing USA CD. All them use the same mastering and don't sound good compared to the vinyl in this box.
The problem I had is they are so damn heavy. Even with a fixed headband they don't distribute the weight well. Other wise my "bass heavy" pair of K340 were pretty good for certain music in short periods of listening.
One of them Dennin 50th anniversary headphone amps with a headphone socket in the front. Don't be plugging your electrotricalstatic phones that Dennin though.
I am blown away how clear the original mix of Bitches Brew sounds on vinyl. This mix was always pretty muddy, but using the original master tape must have really helped in making it sound so clear. I'm pretty damn impressed
I think I get 3-4 years out of a pair of Rockports. That is fine with me since I usually walk 2-4 miles every day indoors so I don't expect them to last forever.
