Does anybody have any experience with the KGSS/O2MkII combination?

I left the earspeaker charge for some 20 hours (playing), then tried to unplug and, after several minutes, replug. Prolonged charging brought no change - channel imbalance at the beginning, gradually balancing up in cca 1 minute. As soon as the channels are balanced, the sound is impeccable. I just hope Birgir was not right in his first assessment (transducer on its last legs) and will live with it. Thanks for your assistance.

I bought it recently and have been using it sporadically. It is quite possible that it had not been used before for quite a long time. I want to leave it connected to an amp for some 24 hours to chrage properly. Does it have any sense?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I lean towards the former as once the stator is properly charged, which takes cca 1 minute, the headphone behaves exemplary, without any fluctuations that might be caused by an intermittent connection. Is there any chance to verify the connection without having to remove the pad? If the transducer really starts to die, how long the process might be? Is there any reasonable possibility to replace it?

My Lambda Pro has a serious channel imbalance when it is freshly connected to an amplifier. The right channel then "fills" gradually up within cca 30 - 40 seconds. As long as it remains plugged in, I perceive no problems and the channel balance is perfect. I read somewhere that this is a sign that the death of an electrostatic headphone is not far away. Could you advse?
