Interesting.

I had my Sigma pro's rebuilt from low bias Sigmas by Stax in Japan. I had some correspondance with them about choices of cable but not about transducers. I hope they used the proper transducer.

More recently I had another low bias Sigma modded by the American distributer using 404 transducers and cable.

Stax always uses what they think is the best driver for the job so they never keep spares for older phones if there is a new generation available. They don't see the point in keeping the phones stock when something better is avaialble. They could have installed the correct drivers though if the Sigma was still available when they rebuilt them.

And your impressions comparing the three different Sigmas are? (I've got Normal Bias ones and am getting ready to try out the Sigma-404 option - always seeking others' opinions though )

I'm thinking of selling my Lamda Nova Signatures in order to help finance a GES. What is the current selling price for these? Spritzer, did you just sell a pair?

I'm sure they'll sell even if you put the price at around $400-500 + shipping. I'd be happy to pay that if I was in the position to buy one. Of course, you can be a very nice guy and sell them to me for $150

I'd love to if I could but I really want the GES and $500 would help more than $150. I'm not sure yet if I will sell but later I may also have a very nice srm T1 available.

I just sold one on Saturday and they sold for 400$. They were mint though with the original earpads (not the same ones as the 404 uses)

Thanks for the info, mine are excellent except for missing foam and the earpads are worn somewhat but not torn. What do you think I should ask?

Where's The Best Place...

Where's the best place (price) to buy the SRS-3030 or 4040 (most recent versions) - not including Audiocubes, or Price Japan (I need US compatible PS)?

I realise you did http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/sta...erence-181637/ and http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/sta...phones-171873/ but did you ever get to a Sigma vs Sigma Pro vs Sigma 404 comparo? (And, yes, I realise this question is probably even more relevant to the http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/sta...ighlight=Sigma thread).

I would start at 350$ and see if there are any bites.

Stax menz: My O2II will be arriving in a few days and need an interim amp to drive them decently until my main amp arrives. I'm definitely opting for the 2nd hand route and looking to spend roughly $500. Suggestions?
