It's no rumor, it says that production was ended on the Website. There could however be some floating around Japan that possibly could be bought.
Kai...did you ever get a response back from Vinnie ? We really need someone to come up with a truly transparent adapter.

Hi Guys,
Just got an early srm1/mk-2 dual normal bias connectors and an extension cable. Got a great deal but i've a query. Why would the cable have a 5pin pro connector on the male end (pins) and 6 pin normal/pro conntor on the female end (sockect)? Is this just a pro connector with a weird config or is it a magic cable for converting pro to normal bias? 
Listening now but i'll have to let it burn in a while before i do a comparison with the srd-7SBmk2 with the nad amp.

The cable allowed one to use normal and pro bias phones from their respective outlets using just one extension cable. Unfortunately, it also allows you to plug a normal bias phone into a pro bias socket. Don't try this!! I have one of these cables (they are round rather than the later flat ones) and yes - I did plug some normal bias phones into the wrong socket once - lots of squealing for about 1/4 second before I realised what had happened. No audible damage.

I've scorched the earth looking for ANY extension for my old normal bias, and in three weeks nothing has turned up.
I even thought about DIY, but the 600v requirement has me in a bind.
Sometimes I wanna sit in my nice comfy chair and listen without moving the thing.
That cable would be appropriate for my Lambda Normals, right? It's not electret specific or anything?

I got one with my SR-80 (+ SRD-4) and one with my SR-Lambda (+ SRD-7). I'm pretty sure they both work the same way.
I should probably consider selling one of them. It's hard to motivate me with small sums of money when i'm making a good salary, though. Maybe if i justify it by thinking that maybe the proceeds will pay for a new pair of pads for the lambda.

I could loan you mine, but it is not for sale. Maybe you could by a spare from ericj? Let me know.

I've done that too... that SR-X was very loud all of a sudden.

Awful kind of you, Larry, but I have the suspicion that coming between you and any normal bias gear is unsafe.
I'll probably just twist Eric's arm. Maybe I'll dangle some orthodynamics in front of him or something. I understand the net effect of nonstandard driver technology on Eric is akin to a cloud of pink smoke drifting in front of Pepe LePew.

There are very few nonstandard driver technologies i don't already own examples of.
Just AMT, back-electret, and plasma, I think. and there are no working plasmasonics around anyway.
