The K701 do not excite you because they are not exciting. For you:

Sell

K701

Buy

Phones: Lambda Pro

Amp: SRM1/MK2

Thanks for the suggestion. How much does the lambda pro go for normally?

While I can't seem to find any lambda pro's selling currently, I saw this lambda sprint on Y!Jp. Is it similar/better/worse than the lambda pro?

Also does anyone here know how to buy from Y!Jp? How do you pay them since it seems that there isn't any paypal option there.

Pardon my many questions.

Thanks!

    Arrived yesterday and it really opens up every electrostatic headphone that I own. I was looking for an amp that can bring more bass out of my HE90 than HEV90 so I drained my pocket to bid on this and

Perhaps Elephas' love affair with Jade was like mine, but he's not willing to admit it?! :)

WHAM! BANG! Thank you Ma'am? :o

Oh man, after 3 weeks of nothing but dynamics, the Lambda has re-wowed me. There really is no other way to go, how could I have ever even begun to think otherwise. :palm:

There is one other way... the most excruciating and possibly most satisfying: buying and modding your own isodynamics. Even after countless hours of thinking about modding and then modding, I'd say it was worth it.

I'm not claiming anything magical.

mighty respectable of you. we're on the same page then :)

You in the main need a deputy service ex: kuboTEN. $350-400ish for the Lambda Pros. As for the sound of the spirit, obviously they will share the common lambda tendencies but beyond that I haven't heard either enough to give solid feed back.

Why did you return the JADE after your love affair with them in your top 5? My JADE shipped to me today and I don't want to be disappointed.

I didn't return the Jade! They were taken from me by a couple of Mafia thugs. They said I was blabbing too much about the O2Mk1 earpads not being real leather and how it is too dark-sounding. :(

So, in exchange, I hope they are installing O2 Mk2 pads and a O2 cable for you instead...

As for my JADE:

He is a baby elephant dammit. He doesn't have any tusks.

Look at that cute, innocent little face:

Why ohh why can't I be in the states.... :(

They seem to have channel imbalance. How difficult can this be to fix?

um, use a balance pot? :)

Well, I am not talking about this, doh. I am concerned with what could be causing the imbalance and can it get worth with age? Usually this is an indication of a problem with one of the panels, a dust cover or even a diaphragm issue in one of them can be damaged. My question was basically how easy are these to fix disassemble?

I believe they use a similar type of panel as ML (powder coated sheet metal) so there are no dust covers and the drivers are often glued together. I'd start checking the bias supplies though before the panels.

Hey, is this the one?

Would the pads be any issue? Is the price reasonable?

Looks pretty good, fair price. The disintegration of the foam is normal and will not make a difference in terms of sound. You should definitely ask to see confirmatory pics, but you can also always replace earpads relatively cheaply if you need to.

That's a great idea. Already PMed him.

Btw he mentioned "All of the inner foam has disintegrated". What exactly is the function of the inner foam? I gather that the inner foam has nothing to do with the pads right, or am i mistaken...

Thanks a lot for you help Monkey.

The foam behind the earpads? Just get new pads anyway, they're so nice and comfy, and they now come with a non-disintegrating cloth driver cover. The thing said it was to protect the stator from dust.

The foam was just extra dust protection and so that those with protruding ears would have something between them and the protecting grill.

So the newest version of the pads have cloth driver cover? Got pics of that?

I don't love the new pads. I feel like the foam is unevenly distributed and it's not as "fluffy" as the old pads. Anyone else have this experience?

I've never tried the new pads but it is the same material as is on the SR-Omega and SR-007 pads.
