Ohh the humanity. Why would anybody swap out caps in a DC coupled amplifier? The bias must sound a lot better now...

Am I seeing things wrong, or did they also completely pull out the wool inside the housings?

That's what it says under that picture.

Oh it sound great now.....

It's really beyond me why people do this shit sometimes.

WTF!!!

I don't care about the re-capping - there may have been other reasons for that - but removing the wool from the Sigma Pros is just wrong headed. 2 obvious reasons - firstly reduced front to back isolation around the drivers will cause an even more severe deep bass roll-off than these phones already have. Secondly, the wool provides the equivalent of room type diffractive, reflective and absorptive surfaces. Remove it at your peril, my friends.

with help from a few headcasers =) im listening to a pair of Lambda pros and a SRM-1 MK2.

all i have to say is WOW....love these for jazz and classical...fantastic soundstage and detail. I wish for alittle more mid response, but its not to bad.

i tried to NOT want it, but GAWD now that i have it, i want MORE!!!!

The Lambda Pro is known for its recessed midrange so switching to something like a SR-202 or Lambda Nova Signature would help. Even the normal bias SR-Lambda could be a better match.

I seriously doubt it is hiding in your house...

If I were you I would cruise past the ATM machine though and just check, you might find it there...

Just got the latest HFN (Jan'10 issue) and Stax is featured in the audio milestones. Nothing new really but seeing somebody wearing Sigmas in print is pretty much priceless...

Got that pic?

I'll see what I can do.

Okay - I have an SR-Lambda (normal bias) and SRM-1/MK-2 (Version C) coming in any day now and even before I get them I'm thinking of Stax upgradeitis - any suggestions as to how to tweek this combo - - and where do I go from here?

I want to get a stand and cover for my 404LE. The Stax stand doesn't look very stable. Am I right about that? The Woo ones look much better.

But if I get a Woo single stand, will the Stax cover still fit over it?

TIA

The Stax stand is very stable.

CharlieX - whoa. Very nice combo there - listen first. Big $$$ to better

Is that the centerfold?

Nope that is the girl truly freaked out by something he's hearing though a pair of Lambdas.

The Stax stand is very stable.

More than can be said for the average Stax fan!

I use both stands and he Stax cover fits just fine on the Woo.

CharlieX, I wouldn't tweak anything but maybe the source with that rig.

I also like the default Stax stand with the lambda series fine.

ThanX manaox2 - now have a Cambridge DacMagic .... and thoroughly enjoying the Stax experience..

Thanks for all the comments about the Stax stand and cover. I think I'll just go for that one.

Now I need to sort out my sources...

I forgot how good the 007 MK1 sounds, listening to The XX "XX" and GAWT DAMN
