Thx Olias!  I haven't seen a post from you since you and I switched to the Liquid Fire from the Woo clan!  Hope all is well and I still need to get a good copy of Olias!

Heck find one for me, too. :D

Olias is definitely a must have on vinyl... If for no other reason than the story doesn't make sense without the explanation and graphics on the gatefold. I'll keep an eye out for you.

That's a nice deal, and it's cool that Justin is matching.  It's a bit strange that ED was refusing to give any discount on Stax during their Black Friday sale, but I have no complaints.  I got great service from Justin and I would've had to wait another month for this sale to come around.

I just have to avoid thinking about what I could've bought with the money I would have if I had bought my 009s from this sale.  Senn Momentums?  There's probably little point in trying to improve my portable setup, when the 009s have ruined my ability to enjoy every other headphone I own...

Just got a SRM-727II from Justin; shipped in record time. Great sponsor; great guy. Paring the 727 with the bang-for-buck SR-407.

Resistors for the mod are on order; even ordered a new soldering tool for the occassion (my old Weller workhorse is from the 80s...). Plan to run-in stock and then see how the mod changes things. Great that this mod is so easily reversed.

Pretty much...

Hi everyone,

Im new to this to this thread and there there seems to be lenghty!

I have a Stax Lambda Pro that consists of the SRM1 MK2 version A, that I had since the early 80s.

I have ordered 3X 450V 220uf 0.062 ohm esr Panasonic, and 50/470uf to recap.

Its probably been done but if someone can point me in the right direction with;

• a schematic 
• procedures to set the bias and offset
• component values for power diodes and film caps

regards

Thanks for the double heads up on the 009. Just placed my order with Justin.

I was planning to buy an 009 very soon after listening to the 009/BHSE combo at a friend's house, the rebate just 'forced' me to act a bit faster .

Next step is an amp upgrade (currently 007t and 323S), most likely a BHSE but I have not entirely made up my mind. What is the timeline for the currently planned BHSE build and is there any slot left?

Mele Kalikimaka and all that!

SR-009* :D

Other than that, good write up. Can't say I'm surprised by your pick knowing some of your musical preferences (at least from your posts). 

The more I read the more I think I made the right choice with the LL. EDM, beat driven music is a lot of what I listen to. Should be getting to hear the BHSE in due time myself though. Can't wait to see what Alex has in store for us on the new model. Judging by the Liquid Glass it'll be much better built which is the only complaint I've heard from most people.

That's were I got my SR-009 and SRM-727 at, same sale last year. I like the fact they also give free shipping and are a STAX Authorized Web Dealer.

There web store front said they are out of the SRM-727 in black, about two hours after I placed my order they called me and said they had found a SRM-727 black and they shipped that the same day.with my SR-009s and 009 extension cord. 

Marry Christmas to all.
