luvdunhill Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 ooh looks nice!!! good job! The problem I'm having is with the PSU (the old KGSS design) which I had already and was the only thing that fit the chassis. I believe there is an error in the schematic posted at Headwize?

spritzer Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I believe there is an error in the schematic posted at Headwize? Yeah, the +350v connection for the bias supply should come from the emitter and not straight off the rectifiers. I've done pretty much everything I can think off to fix this (two separate PSU's, changed the diodes to UF4007's, removed the bias supply entirely, changed the caps used, tried two different but identical transformers) but still no change.

mirumu Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've been in Team O2 Mk1 + no amp for far longer than I'd like. It's good the SRD7-Mk2 does a respectable job of driving them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 You could do worse. There aren't many worse options; the SRM-X doesn't even pull 300Vrms. Could make a portable O2 rig with it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadphoneAddict Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Kevin Gilmore has/had a portable O2 rig I think Yeah, someone posted the photos of it not too long ago. On another note - Blutarsky informs me that the O2 Mk1 pretty much suck when driven by the Koss E/90 amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Got the SRM-X pro today Its surprisingly well-built; the casing is made of anodised aluminium, and the colour matches rather well with the O2 (its the same colour, but darker). Even the knobs are nice and solid, which is quite a departure from the stuff I'm used to seeing in the SRD-X. Love the mini input on the front too. I have nothing to compare it with, so I'll just say it sounds okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypasswordis Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Normal bias SR-Lambda showed up today. Very much midbass heavy, but thats probably due to the missing damping layer. I sure dont remember them sounding like this when I last heard them. I would currently rank my my Stax as SR-404>Lambda Pro>Lambda. ESP/950 is the best of the lot though. Thanks for the info. You could try swapping the damping layers from your Pro to your normal bias just for kicks (careful handling it, of course). I think I'm done with Lambdas now, though, since I still have the half a Lambda and can swap arc assemblies with the Pro. Well, obviously I am still in need of an arc assembly... again. If I ever get another pair of headphones (not counting some cheap orthos), it will probably end up being the ESP950. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well, it looks like I'm be trading with Blutarsky tomorrow for Naamanf's old O2 Mk1, and spending more time trying to decide between the Mk1 and my Mk2 again. I likely will sell one of the O2 eventually, but I'd like to hang onto both until I can listen to them via SRD-7 Pro out of my Eddie Current ZDT speaker-out first. I just don't know if I want to hang onto both until it arrives in June - the 6 week delivery date is pushed back a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
