mwl168 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry, I was being sarcastic – jokingly saying we should start a GB for the water cool chassis for T2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeP Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 There was a Chinese T2 GB? Technically it was a Vietnamese T2 GB. Though it was one where people gave lil knight/Tran their hard earned cash and he decided to disappear with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefQon Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Ohh that one, yeah heard know about that, I'm still waiting for one of my boards from his last GB run for the KGSSHV (till I bought John's old offboard set) but from what I heard a typhoon hit his town pretty hard and seemingly he was unable to turn up with the stuff. Whether it's true or not it sucks either way as I heard he had half of somebody's T2 order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 seems like in the world of Lambdas, the only recommended ones are the LNS (discontinued), the SR Lambda nb (discontinued), the 404LE (discontinued), or one of the entry level pro cans (20#). Don't see a lot of love for the higher end lambdas. I also thought the signature was a bit better thought of, but comments on the etch seem to point elsewhere. I didn't have any "etched" Stax until now : SR-5, SR-5/NB, SR-X/mk3, Sigma Pro, Gamma Pro, SR-007 mk1, Lambda NB and SR-009. The two latter the "brighter", but still very smooth with beautiful midrange. FR response of Lambda Signature sounds very different to me, with something glaring in the high mids my other cans don't have. It's no that unpleasant, but it sounds a bit artificial. I'm waiting for my BHSE to make a definitive statement on my several phones...Spritzer did say one time the glaring side of Lambda Sig does largely benefit from power / authority of some BH amp. Ali My only remaining stats are my SR-5NB gold edition, SR-Lambda normal bias, SR-Lambda Nova Signature, and Sennheiser HE-60 > No Etch :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwhisper Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't know anything about getting outbid on Mr. Sneis' Lambda Nova Signature in the last 4 seconds. Nope, wasn't me. It ended at $455, not bad. Edited May 2, 2015 by dreamwhisper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kugino Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 ok...717 fiasco finally resolved. got full refund from paypal for the damaged amp. now on to smaller and better things...someone says they have one of birgir's kgsshv minis that they'd let go to a new home...methinks i should jump on it.

DefQon Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Stax SR-X circuit For cheap http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Audio-Valve-Board-PCB-Electrostatic-Headphone-Kopfhorer-Verstarker-Amplifier-DIY-/261876469298?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item3cf90dce32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 That one has nothing to do with the SRX... As you would expect from Audio Valve, major fail all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopants Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 has anyone here purchased any extra 009 earpads? was wondering where to get them. thinking about using them on the 007 or some frankenphones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Stax don't want you to change them so they are hard to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 if that schematic is correct, the moron is reverse biasing the diaphragm. massive bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 The pcb sold above comes from that article so I'd assume they match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefQon Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I thought Audio Valve stole most of the ideas off the original Stax SRX circuit and tried" to make one himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorenb Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Looking for Stax Normal BIAS teflon jacks ... the PROs are easy to find, but I haven't had any luck searching the NBs ....anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Normal bias sockets no longer available and probably won't be made again. As for the Audio Valve, it has literally nothing to do with the SRX. Edited May 12, 2015 by spritzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
