It's an interesting unit Not the sharpest thing in the world, but it focuses quickly. The out of focus areas are warm and fuzzy, so it has good bork-eh. Probably best used outdoors.

Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker - I've Got the Music in Me (Sheffield Labs recording on CD) - Picked up at a local Goodwill on a whim based on the label. I was not familiar with the Sheffield Lab era but was intrigued by the cover, so I grabbed it. Have I found my newest obsession?

The L500 pads are virtually the same, a bit thicker but it won't change much. Same for the L700 pads but they will both also melt away. I always use the all leather pads from China now, cheaper and much better quality but you need to get them onto the plastic mounting plate from the original pads... which is a bit of a pain

I got a little obsessed when I heard this song for the first time yesterday:

Watching 21-year-olds get their brains rearranged by amazing old songs is extremely rewarding. Actual quote: "Fucking hell that might be the best intro ever?" 🤷‍♂️

After another week of testing I like the outcome of the latest CFA3smd something with the dual opamp bias servos. Thanks a lot Kevin. My version is a Zero Feedback version of CFA3. I’ve heard, read, that some people favor the Super Symmetrical version. So, here is a drawing drafting of a ZF/SS version of CFA3smd something with… … six small Omron latching relays. Five for ZF/SS switching and the sixth for LED identification of mode in progress. Two JST XH3 connectors for a momentary toggle switch and LEDs to control the ZF/SS modes.

original pressing!

Yeah, this is shockingly bad. Why they didn't just adapt the many headbands on the market in China is beyond me. The CD3000/R10 units are very well made from the right supplier.

Since I just got these, might be time to talk about possibly the rarest stuff Stax ever made. Let me introduce the SRM-Monitor Mk2 and the SR-Lambda Pro New: I've only seen a couple of these for sale over the years so very rare indeed. The headphones are basically the modern version of the Lambda Pro's but not the Spirit/Pro Classic, made later than that. The SRM-Monitor has been called the Mk2 but the changes are mostly to the chassis. Inside there is still a SRM-1 Mk2 and the ED-1 but with different parts. They are all Pro bias only and notice the extra output on the back. The volume knob is also similar to the SRM-T1S/W knob and not the SRM-1 Mk2 unit found of the original Monitors. I have no idea when these were made but I've heard late 90's and for special customers which wanted to replace their older Lambda Pro sets and SRM-Monitors. With these here the Lambda collection is almost complete...
