May 14, 201511 yr Yes, but what the hell is "semi-panoramic sound"? Upper half? Right half? Center half?
May 14, 201511 yr The box is amazing, great sense of spaciousness and fantasic noise floor. I think there were some headphones inside but I tossed those aside trying to get at the box
May 15, 201511 yr Lamda Signatures are great at lower volumes, if I had a proper amplifier these would be going straight to the office. They seem to compress a bit dynamically when you drive them at higher volumes. Pads are peeling a bit off the frame, I never understood why they didn't opt for a non-adhesive solution like the omega series
May 16, 201511 yr Probably because the LS came out like almost decades before the Omega series and Stax was still progressing through with the different materials available at the time?
May 16, 201511 yr All Lambdas have the earpads glued to the baffle, including all of the new ones. Only difference is that with the new ones the drivers aren't glued to the other side of the plate but mounted in housings instead. The Lambda Signature was released in 1987 so six years prior to the SR-Omega. All the SR-1 through 5 units had loose earpads only fixed in place with small adhesive dots.
May 19, 201511 yr Didn't think they would go for this much: http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/m138412715
May 20, 201511 yr Yeah seems like there are some serious Stax collectors out there in the East even. Last time I saw a Stax SRA-7S that was literally in pieces it still went for a fetching 30000 yen.
May 20, 201511 yr The Item description says it's not guranteed to work since the poster does not have a headphone to try the amp with.
May 20, 201511 yr Well thats usually the description for nearly all used electronics on yahoojp. I.e. junk.
May 27, 201511 yr http://www.head-fi.org/t/769105/mjolnir-audio-electrostatic-amps Some dodgy website, claims to be producing some of Kevin's amps.
May 27, 201511 yr it is scam do not want!! btw I found a sigma pro, I'm a believer. this shit is nuts
May 27, 201511 yr http://www.head-fi.org/t/769105/mjolnir-audio-electrostatic-amps Some dodgy website, claims to be producing some of Kevin's amps. my favorite: "is it build properly as if Kevin Gilmore made it?"
May 27, 201511 yr I don't know. I heard about a newbie named birgir wilson who was labeled Mother Of Treachery on another site and so pretty much got banned for spelling technical words correctly. Maybe it's the same bloke who's copying kevin carbon.
May 27, 201511 yr All this rumour and innuendo is makingh me consider the AudioValve LUMINARE and VERTO as the only genuine STAX equivalents in existence. All these new fandangled designs and models are confusing. Stick to the known products, i say.
May 27, 201511 yr the fact is that unless i use piles of NC machines to make stuff (in which case i'm not really making it) birgir and justin do a way better job of assembly. I just don't have the patience.
May 27, 201511 yr Me needs some NC stuff... I also need a shill to post non stop about my stuff on HF. Anybody want to get a free amp or something?
May 27, 201511 yr allow me, all I do is post bullshit anyway I already spammed the gilmore design portfolio like 4x over
May 27, 201511 yr Gotta love those SR-X Mk3 Pro's. Just sent out my last set but to the best home imaginable.
