guzziguy Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Yes, but what the hell is "semi-panoramic sound"? Upper half? Right half? Center half? 1
nopants Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 The box is amazing, great sense of spaciousness and fantasic noise floor. I think there were some headphones inside but I tossed those aside trying to get at the box 4
Dusty Chalk Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 It does appear to be in excellent condition.
nopants Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 Lamda Signatures are great at lower volumes, if I had a proper amplifier these would be going straight to the office. They seem to compress a bit dynamically when you drive them at higher volumes. Pads are peeling a bit off the frame, I never understood why they didn't opt for a non-adhesive solution like the omega series
DefQon Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 Probably because the LS came out like almost decades before the Omega series and Stax was still progressing through with the different materials available at the time?
nopants Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 the adhesive pad thing still hasn't changed up until the sr507 right?
spritzer Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 All Lambdas have the earpads glued to the baffle, including all of the new ones. Only difference is that with the new ones the drivers aren't glued to the other side of the plate but mounted in housings instead. The Lambda Signature was released in 1987 so six years prior to the SR-Omega. All the SR-1 through 5 units had loose earpads only fixed in place with small adhesive dots.
DefQon Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Didn't think they would go for this much: http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/m138412715
spritzer Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I can't remember how much I paid for my SRA-7S but it wasn't cheap.
DefQon Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah seems like there are some serious Stax collectors out there in the East even. Last time I saw a Stax SRA-7S that was literally in pieces it still went for a fetching 30000 yen.
mwl168 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 The Item description says it's not guranteed to work since the poster does not have a headphone to try the amp with.
DefQon Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Well thats usually the description for nearly all used electronics on yahoojp. I.e. junk.
johnwmclean Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 http://www.head-fi.org/t/769105/mjolnir-audio-electrostatic-amps Some dodgy website, claims to be producing some of Kevin's amps.
nopants Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 it is scam do not want!! btw I found a sigma pro, I'm a believer. this shit is nuts
kugino Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 http://www.head-fi.org/t/769105/mjolnir-audio-electrostatic-amps Some dodgy website, claims to be producing some of Kevin's amps. my favorite: "is it build properly as if Kevin Gilmore made it?"
arnaud Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 I don't know. I heard about a newbie named birgir wilson who was labeled Mother Of Treachery on another site and so pretty much got banned for spelling technical words correctly. Maybe it's the same bloke who's copying kevin carbon. 1
wink Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 All this rumour and innuendo is makingh me consider the AudioValve LUMINARE and VERTO as the only genuine STAX equivalents in existence. All these new fandangled designs and models are confusing. Stick to the known products, i say.
spritzer Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah... I'd go with Audio Valve too. Such honest and upstanding company.
kevin gilmore Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 the fact is that unless i use piles of NC machines to make stuff (in which case i'm not really making it) birgir and justin do a way better job of assembly. I just don't have the patience. 1
spritzer Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Me needs some NC stuff... I also need a shill to post non stop about my stuff on HF. Anybody want to get a free amp or something?
nopants Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 allow me, all I do is post bullshit anyway I already spammed the gilmore design portfolio like 4x over
spritzer Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Gotta love those SR-X Mk3 Pro's. Just sent out my last set but to the best home imaginable.
