minivan Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 splitzer: what sort of glue do u used? is pricejapan the cheapest place to buy the sr404? and can u use any of those lamba series driver? sorry i am still new to stax, all these lamba series are confusing me. thanks
deepak Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 If memory serves correctly the SR-303 and SR-404 both use the same driver and are the only headphones to use that driver. The Airbow is cryo'ed.
spritzer Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 The SR-303, 404, SC-1 and 4070 all use the same driver but the 303 uses the older PC-OCC cable and the SC1 is cryo treated. While all of the Lambdas look alike the drivers are very different and there are some subtle differences. I wouldn't do this mod with anything less then a SR-404 The glue I use I found at some local store and they have no idea where it's from. It's not marked in any way but I bought up everything they had so I have enough for some time. The glue with the yellow backing that I used to mount the damping material is also good and you should be able to find it at a local crafts store. One thing that you need to know is that this is far from easy and you need to be able to do repairs to the drivers as it is guaranteed that you'll rip a dustcover (or two) or even rip one driver apart. Working with electrostatic drivers takes a lot of practice and there is no room for error. One slip and you can throw the driver in the garbage. I'm not trying to discourage you but you should know the risks involved.
Smeggy Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Where do I order a $100 O2 Arc assembly? I wants it
spritzer Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Where do I order a $100 O2 Arc assembly? I wants it Ask EIFL or Yama's. Just so you know there are no forks to attach to a housing due to the different design of the SR-007. What is included is just the two metal arcs, headband and the plastic pieces that hold it to the base plate on each side.
luvdunhill Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 yup, you can even order the pad separate from the arcs. Both are $50. I ordered from Yama's

Smeggy Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Coolies, I've never seen a pic of dismantled O2s so I don't know how it all connects together but I'm sure I can get a mounting plate made by Front Panel Express for the drivers to go in and attach to the arc.

Here is a pic: Having something made wouldn't be too hard but simply buying the 4070 arc would be even better.
Smeggy Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Here is a pic: Having something made wouldn't be too hard but simply buying the 4070 arc would be even better. Nam, I already have the O2 pads, nice round look, couple of bits and it'd look sweet. Thanks for the pic
postjack Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Hey Stax fans- Got my SRD-7mk2 hooked up, listening to my normal bias lambdas now. damn these cans are still amazing, even after a few weeks listening to the OII. eventually these cans will get "discovered", and prices will increase. for now they are a stone cold bargain. Glad I'm on Team Stats in '08!
deepak Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 This is one of my favorite albums on the Lambdas so far. It's Comus - First Utterance, a psychedelic folk album from the 1970s. The Lambdas are delicate, yet have incredible slam when the music kicks into high gear. And they are incredibly resolving of all the small detail. I imagine it sounds even better on the SR-007. First three tracks here, download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0TYKZXE4
The Monkey Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Sorry all, I can't bear to go through all the pages right now. Here's my situation. Every time I go to a meet, I end up loving the Stax phones. The O2 is among my favorites, but way WAY out of my price range. That said, what would be a recommended sweet spot to enter the Stax lineup?

That said, what would be a recommended sweet spot to enter the Stax lineup? I'm no authority Vincent, but the Lambda Signatures with and SRM-1 or better yet a 006t or 007t is a great combo. I bought a Lambda Pro, the SRM-1 and the ED-1 "equalizer" for $1000 or 1100.

That said, what would be a recommended sweet spot to enter the Stax lineup? It's tough to recommend just one combo but a SRM-1 Mk2 Pro amp with either a SR-Lambda or SR-Lambda Signature makes for a very good combo.
spritzer Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Oh man what memories. Good ol' minya. Yup. Back then I didn't really know what expensive really is...
Voltron Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 It's tough to recommend just one combo but a SRM-1 Mk2 Pro amp with either a SR-Lambda or SR-Lambda Signature makes for a very good combo. Yeah, to be specific, Vincent, I have an SRM-1, Mk 2 Pro and it is a good match.
kpeezy Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I just picked up some Lambdas at a decent price so I'll be looking out for a SRM-1 MK2 to go with it. Do they come up very often? Also, Finally I get to hear for myself what postjack has been talking about.
kpeezy Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 So..I just got my Lambdas in today and they say Professional on the top of the housing... Does that mean they're pro bias and the seller just didn't know it?

grawk Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Then I just got pro bias Lambdas for $250 Aren't the pros the worst of the lambdas?
