IMO, it was better at that meet than the Omega II's that were floating around (and there was a great deal of different sources and amplification to try them with). I bought a Lambda Pro, and still have it (having long since bought and sold and Omega II; that headphone is too fucking polite). Lambda Pro has much better dynamics than SR-404 did, and is a great headphone for just rocking out.

Agreed. I take the Lambda Pro + ES-1 over OII + KGSS anyday. The Lambda pro is pretty nice sounding headphone IMO.
