Interesting, I wonder what the difference is, as the voltage seems pretty close. Safety resistor value maybe?

So am I, especially since it looks like it should be able to run off a normal bias Stax amp.

Good to hear. I didnt experiment too much with my YH-100, but I didnt really care for the sound too much from either mine or NoNoNoNoNoNo's pair. Probably a transplant into a better frame would have made a big difference, but thats a lot of work. I am hopeful that these ET1000 sound pretty good. Definitely look the part. Also looks like they can run off normal bias Stax amps, which would be cool.

Asking price. YH-100 funded it. Sure, I will let you know if I decide it isnt for me.

Yup.

I am thinking I dont like this idea. How about you and Nate? I will probably pick one up when I get around to building myself a KGSS or something, so if you can wait a year or so, I will let you know how they are.

Does anyone know anything about these speakers? Since they are made by Final Sound, I presume they are inverted ESL, though this model has a 7" alloy woofer handling the low end with the 48" ESL panel for mids and up. There obviously are going to be some issues with reflections, and I bet they are very sensitive to the room, but still, pretty interesting looking. Seen a few good reviews, but from unknown sources.

Well damn, that finally looks like a SA with sufficiently small steps. Color me interested, especially since they seem to be asking a fairly reasonable price.

Wow, the BH driving my Lambda Sigs completely transforms them compared to the SRM1/mk2. Actually sound very good now, where they were too bright and bass light previously.

Without the pesky I/V bits.

Scheduled my polygraph for next Thursday, now at work.

Yeah, the O2 scared the crap out of me the first time I heard the fart. I get a bit on a few of my Lambdas, but nothing like an O2mk1.

What aspects of those look interesting? The hfe seems fairly mediocre and the fT fairly low. Sure, decent dissipation, but nothing that a TO126 cant do.

Happy birthday Thor!

I used some open cell foam that some resistors I bought from Newark were packed in for my pair. You can just experiment, they open real easy.

New UPS, my old one seems to be dead.

If these are the normal bias Lambdas, which seems to be the case, you also really should consider damping the drivers. There is some very open foam you removed, and since you mentioned removing the dust covers, you almost certainly also took out the damping pad. I really did not enjoy my SR-Lambda undamped, but love it with the stock (or approximately) damping material. I guess it is even worse for you, as that dust cover should be providing some additional damping. On another note, I got my first really good listen to my new Lambda Sigs. I have to say, I am not hearing the love. Damn things are too bright for me, in such a way that I would probably put them last right now of all of my electrostatics. Bass is also disappointing.

Happy birthday Scott!
