spritzer Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Ohh the humanity. Why would anybody swap out caps in a DC coupled amplifier? The bias must sound a lot better now...
n3rdling Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Am I seeing things wrong, or did they also completely pull out the wool inside the housings?
cclragnarok Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Am I seeing things wrong, or did they also completely pull out the wool inside the housings? That's what it says under that picture.
faust3d Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Oh it sound great now..... It's really beyond me why people do this shit sometimes.
John Buchanan Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 WTF!!! I don't care about the re-capping - there may have been other reasons for that - but removing the wool from the Sigma Pros is just wrong headed. 2 obvious reasons - firstly reduced front to back isolation around the drivers will cause an even more severe deep bass roll-off than these phones already have. Secondly, the wool provides the equivalent of room type diffractive, reflective and absorptive surfaces. Remove it at your peril, my friends.
Dominatrice Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 with help from a few headcasers =) im listening to a pair of Lambda pros and a SRM-1 MK2. all i have to say is WOW....love these for jazz and classical...fantastic soundstage and detail. I wish for alittle more mid response, but its not to bad. i tried to NOT want it, but GAWD now that i have it, i want MORE!!!!
spritzer Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 The Lambda Pro is known for its recessed midrange so switching to something like a SR-202 or Lambda Nova Signature would help. Even the normal bias SR-Lambda could be a better match.

Dominatrice Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 And so it begins... indeed, my wallet just jumped out of my pocket and is hiding somewhere in my house...
Les_Garten Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 indeed, my wallet just jumped out of my pocket and is hiding somewhere in my house... I seriously doubt it is hiding in your house... If I were you I would cruise past the ATM machine though and just check, you might find it there...
spritzer Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 Just got the latest HFN (Jan'10 issue) and Stax is featured in the audio milestones. Nothing new really but seeing somebody wearing Sigmas in print is pretty much priceless...

charliex Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Okay - I have an SR-Lambda (normal bias) and SRM-1/MK-2 (Version C) coming in any day now and even before I get them I'm thinking of Stax upgradeitis - any suggestions as to how to tweek this combo - - and where do I go from here?
mrmarbach Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 I want to get a stand and cover for my 404LE. The Stax stand doesn't look very stable. Am I right about that? The Woo ones look much better. But if I get a Woo single stand, will the Stax cover still fit over it? TIA Nic

spritzer Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Nope that is the girl truly freaked out by something he's hearing though a pair of Lambdas.
Hopstretch Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 The Stax stand is very stable. More than can be said for the average Stax fan!

manaox2 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 CharlieX, I wouldn't tweak anything but maybe the source with that rig. I also like the default Stax stand with the lambda series fine.
charliex Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 CharlieX, I wouldn't tweak anything but maybe the source with that rig. ThanX manaox2 - now have a Cambridge DacMagic .... and thoroughly enjoying the Stax experience..
mrmarbach Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks for all the comments about the Stax stand and cover. I think I'll just go for that one. Now I need to sort out my sources...
kelvinz Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I forgot how good the 007 MK1 sounds, listening to The XX "XX" and GAWT DAMN
