saw you guys talking about modifying 4070 hoursings in the HE audio thread, so the 4070 and 404 do have different drivers?

Exactly the same drivers, earpads, cable and baffle although they have been modified on the 4070 by adding ports.

Same drivers, different housing and baffle.

Isn't baffle different on 4070?

Well I know about ports. I thought they were made out of different material.

what would the value of a Lambda and an SRD-X amp be? Is around $300 shipped a decent price?

Yes, that's a decent price, about what the one on eBay went for. I watched the auction with no plans to buy, as I already have 2 SRD-X and don't need a third.

well I won that auction I bid on a whim after hearing all the amazing talk of the Stax on this forum. Didn't expect to win, but hey.

I figure I'll try it out and if I'm not amazed then I'll re-sell them.

Currently I'm using a vintage pair of AKG K-141s (the silver kind, 4-600 ohms). So we'll see what the quality difference is like.

I like the sound of the SRD-X when plugged into the headphone out of my DarkVoice 336i tube amp. And the SR-Lambda are great sounding, I thought better than SR-Lambda Pros. You should enjoy them.

I'll be running the SRD-X out of a recently cleaned Marantz 2270 from the 70s (sounds wonderful). Currently they're running a pair of Kef iQ1's.

Man I should NOT just read these boards. They make me spend $300+ without even THINKING about it!

grumble.

Cuts nicely with a pair of good craft scissors. This is what I used in my phones. Epoxy coated steel.

The 4070 and SR-404 have identical drivers, cable and earpads. While the rest (headband, forks, housing, ..) are different. I think it would be fun to modify a 4070 into an open-back 'phone. $1400 is not pocket money though..

Is it difficult to change cable/driver in 404/4070?
