Cheers.
Looking at this picture it looks like the SRM-T1W have a voltage switcher on the back.
Where you remove the lid (two screws), then reposition the jumper. So I think its a positive.

All Stax amps are able to run on 240v (well most but that caveat only applies to the newer units) but the problem is how hard they are to change. The T1W can have a voltage selector on the back panel (a plug you pull out of the socket and reinsert with the arrow pointing at the correct voltage), the same socket and plug affair but hidden underneath the main PCB (remove the bottom panel) or it was hardwired from the factory which can be reversed but isn't easy.

Tell me whether my idea to make Sigma housings myself (slightly larger to easily fit the 404 drivers) is feasible and might yield interesting results.
I have a Sigma STD and I am assuming the housing is plastic. What if I made wooden boxes and what if I kept them solid and dump them inside with dynamat?

If the cable is approximately 80lbs I could end up with two sets by spending 155+80+25=260 lbs.
I figure a DIY headband assembly would not cost me more than 25. Oh I forgot pads but I can easily put some Nasa memory foam into leather and glue it on,
so max 300 lbs (450$) and the fun of DIY and experimentation.

What is the frame of the 4070 boxes made from?

Well all that just for the fun of it. because my K-1000 smokes them all anyways and that is not on sound stage alone but on visceral transparency as well.
You don't need a bigger case for the 404 drivers they are the same size as other lambdas.

But if you are going to make your own set-up why not make something big enough to fit Omega drivers and then you would have a potential world beater.

In time yes. Have not even attempted to take the pads off from the O2 yet as Spritzer said it is relatively difficult to put them back on.

For now I have to get over the shock from the K-1000's.

I was speaking to someone earlier about the normal sigma drivers. Why not buy a set of lambda signatures and swap the drivers between the sigma and the signature you will end up with a set of pro sigma and a set of normal bias lambdas supposedly two of the finest cans that use the lambda driver.

...or just use a SR-404 as they are the best Lambda drivers Stax has ever made.

If you're hardcore, what you really want is a set of Airbow drivers though

Or you could just buy a Sigma Pro and SR-Lambda.

It I should happen upon a used Airbow again and a SR-Sigma at the same time then you know what will happen...

I don't think i've ever seen a sigma pro for sale unfortunately except for the sigma 404 that was on audiogon.

I have some normal SR-Sigma drivers with cable on the way - what should I build them into?
