Run them for a while, unplugging the set and shorting the pins to ground should help. It is also a good idea to increase the volume level a bit over normal levels since more voltage helps.

Happy Birthday!!!

It's always a good idea to remove the old protection systems from these phones since they don't age well. The drivers will easily last another 50 years. You can always install some back-to-back 451V zener diodes if you want protection for the drivers. As for the SR-007, just run the amp for a week playing music and the imbalance should go away. It can also happen when the weather changes as humidity is a factor here.

Happy belated birthday Steve!!!

If you have any issues finding it, just PM me.

I'm lucky that the system is very stable up here, drifting just a volt or so from 234V. If I ever were to have any issues then I know the guy in charge of the whole network... This does remind me to check the heaters on the my latest Egmont type amp. I'm guessing the 12.6V is way off spec with just two ECC83's and LED on 1.9A winding.

Way too many parts for the T2. Time to finish this rather imposing beast...

Synth Brittania. Too few programs feature schematics these days...

The only issues I've had were with uneven epoxy coatings. It's not very comforting to see the resistive element on something meant for high voltage use...

SR-007A...

With up to 15% variation in the input voltage? The reason why the EU electricity standard is wide is because of the UK system.

Have a great day Jeff!!

Yeah, read that thread...

Don't get me started on his Kimik mods though. How the hell he's going to offer precise offset and balance settings for the tubes with an unregulated PSU is beyond me...

The new pads will sound different since the distance from the ears to the drivers is a large factor. It's isn't that big of a change though... Personally I wouldn't change the pads unless they are deteriorating or simply falling off.

Yup, any Lambda pads will fit. I for one am not that great a fan of the new leather pads since they are so shallow and uncomfortable for me.

Happy Birthday!!

All new earpads come with the cloth insert, any earpads with the foam are old stock. It's also not easy to compare this as the new earpads have a different shape to the older ones (more like the original prototype Lambdas). I for one have compared them and I can't hear any difference at all, ditto on the Omegas which use the same cloth inside the pads.

The fail is quite strong in that one... Hifi News have been going on about that the data on the files may be identical but how the software decodes it may alter the sound. They also did some measurements but never posted the hard data that I'm aware of.

Yup, they are WW non-inductive.

I can donate some Kimber cables for testing if somebody is up for it. I'm going to rip a KS3033 apart tonight to make some truly insane interconnects...

Like I just told Kevin, sometimes I really glad that a good part of the northern Atlantic sits between us. I'd live in constant fear of crazy shit like this showing up...

Try to remove the bottom panel.... Then you can pull out the plug and turn it to what even voltage you want.
