Nope, I just don't really like the STAX thread over there. It seems like there's a lot more interesting discussion going on in this thread.

Hi all, first post here. I've had the STAX bug for the last year and a half or so, I have the SR-202 with 507 pads and SRM-212 plus an original SR-Lambda with SRD-7/SB. I saw this on Head-fi, and although I was looking back over the past few pages and people were talking about Sigmas, isn't $330 a little high for what is basically a half-working set? http://www.head-fi.org/t/758880/stax-sr-sigma-headphones-one-side-no-sound I heard the Sigmas (along with a few other lambdas) that a friend has and really liked them, but considering I think he paid about $500 for a set with the box and manual and everything from Japan, this price seems a bit steep. Also on my SR-lambdas that I bought about 9 months ago, if I move the left channel cable where it enters the enclosure, it cuts out the sound and sort of makes a "static" sound. I haven't had the guts to open them yet but I assume it's an issue with the wiring? The cable on this set has definitely seen better days but I haven't been able to find a 6 pin replacement cable anywhere online so I've just been dealing with it. How hard would you guys say it is to open the lambda frame and find/solve the problem of the sound cutting out intermittently? I'm pretty experienced with taking apart other electronics and soldering stuff but I don't want to break these lambdas, I paid $200 for the set which I think was a bit too much given their condition but I still wanted them anyway given they sounded much better to my ears than the other, much better condition set the seller was selling with what I think was an SRD-6/SB.
