The Mk2's have one Pro and one Normal bias outputs.

Thanks spritzer. Now I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, does anyone have a sr lambda + energizer/amplifier in good condition they want to sell?

nvm

The SR-Lambda is in high demand and short supply so probably not.

I still think that it is not so rare. To prove it, there is actually one with a nice amp right here, you just have to outbid the rest who want it as well

There plenty of them made but they aren't everywhere like L-Pro's.

In other news, I bought a SR-404 today so I feel a Sigma modding session happening soon...

Pity you don't have a clone as you could do it simultaneously with the Pro that I just got - just joking

Ooh, very nice score! I definitely need to hear a Sigma Pro or Sigma/404 someday.

I never quite warmed up to the Sigma Pro to be honest. Simply the wrong drivers for this role. The SR-Sigma and 404 on the other hand...

I wasnt a fan of the sigma pro at CanJam, sounded really weird.

I am too sober now to make a picture of wearing it(the vintage colour does add a bit of extra cheerfulness compared to the NB version), but it may pop up elsewhere later on

I think it actually sounds better than the two NB Sigmas I had, although I was able to test it on a better amp which only had a Pro bias connector. I am definitely interested in a conversion, although the Pro might be less worthy to sacrifice as it is much rarer

Thanks for the heads up on that sweet combo padam. I just won my first auction. Looks like I will be upgrading from my SRD84. Cant wait to sample the delights of a good electrostatic.

You made a very good deal there, congrats.

That's not bad and kudos for getting through to them. Most aren't so fortunate...

I actually sent a follow-up email to Yamas to ask for more prices, and didn't get a reply for a few days.

But today, I actually got a phonecall at work (my number is in my email sig) from 'Tats', confirming the extra parts I wanted, discussing my Lambda's, and him recommending against my trying to replace dust covers due to the high chance of failure.

I think the difference was that I actually sent my original email to the service department, 'Accutech' rather than the generic Yamas email address. They might butcher a pair of phones every now and again, but seem to be genuinely interested in helping people

It's more the amps that they haven't been so good at repairing but even Stax Japan makes some blunders like my SR-Omega/007 hybrid. Easy to fix though...

Well, I'm in. How come no one ever talks about these? They're OK!

Ditto! Take pics of the earpads so that we can see what condition they are in. We want this set to be running at 100%.

I'm no expert on O2s, but they seem distinctly minty to me. One tiny mark on one ear cup, that's it.

Very nice Stretch. They look to be in great condition. Hopefully the pads are still somewhat firm. Just be sure to keep the cable as twist free as possible. Its probably the only physical weakness on an otherwise bullet proof phone thats marvelously constructed.

Will do. One question -- on a hanger, hang from headband or arc assembly?

Either. But I prefer hanging by the arc assembly.

I'd say those were mint and the pads look to be in perfect condition too. The cable is indeed the only known place where they do fail and it is something which Stax took care of with the Mk2. Using them with an extension cable will increase it's life by giving it ample slack.

I always hang mine for the headband on a Stax stand and after 7 years (fuck that's a long time ) the elastic band is just like new.
