Monkey, you should press the sides of the pads into the tape every so often. Mine lifted up like that for a while, but I was able to coax it into staying.

I'd say it depends on the condition it arrives in :)

I have been told (for what thats worth) that it is in excellent working condition, and the audio company I actually bought it from, Audio Alternative in Fort Collins, CO, shipped it today double boxed, insured, and with tracking UPS ground. I do hope the pads are in decent shape, as the last Lambda Pro I heard, while good, was outclassed (slightly) by a SR-Lambda, and I suspect that at least some of this is because the Lambda pads were in better condition and sealed properly for me, while the Pro pads didnt quite.

Nope, the SR-Lambda is simply better as it doesn't have the midrange recession and the uneven bass and treble of the Pro's. ;D

[asian accent]Good for them 'rocks', I hear.[/asian accent]

Actually I find them to be a bit more resolving even though the frequency response isn't as balanced.

My SR-Lambdas are my endpoint for the time being. The next step I can see is some ESP-950s, or some SR-007. Anything in between is too much overlap for my ears.

And you can loan me the srm once you build your amp :)

FYI, this was a private person who set the price, not Audio Alternative. They just handled the transaction and shipping.

You cant tell me my ears are supposed to be as against the stators (or rather, stator condom) as they were on the Lambda Pro, while I was good on the Lambda. I didnt have enough time on either to characterize the sound other than "I think I like this one moar, the mids are tastier".

Sooo, got SRM-1/mk2 schematics? Is their a stax and koss amp schematic repository anywhere?

I agree with you on that, which is why I sold one of my Lambdas to fund something hopefully.. better.

Since I am too cheap to afford the SR-007 or 4070 I'm going for some DIY alternatives. I got a Koss ESP10 which I need to reterminate and replace the caps on and bought Birgir's Alpha Pro drivers for a SR-5 transplantation, and will eventually make my own DIY 4070 using normal bias Lambda drivers. It's gonna kick ass and probably break my neck.

Your Lambdas are very nice indeed :D

All this talk is making me impatient *hint hint* ;D

Hey you mean you got two SR-Lambdas?
