The Stax thread (New) - Page 558

Awesome, thank-you so much Germania, and good luck with the Lambda's!

We do often say that planar headphones in general typically lack the sort of "bass slam" that incurable bassheads of the adolescent variety seem to crave. I wonder if that's what he was referring to.

I have a PDF file explaining the Stax connector and jack pinout.
PM me with your email address and I will send to you.

In my collection only the SRX3 could be said to lack bass and that is only at the extreme bottom. On much material it sounds very good bass-wise. The low bias Sigma seems to have some bass loss at the bottom as well, but when compared dierctly with the SRX3 it shows a lot of bass.
I would say it has a broad, euphonic bass emphasis, which masks the loss of the extreme bass.

My Lambda Nova and 404 have a good bass kick at the bottom, but sometimes sound thin because they lack the Sigma-type broad bass boost.

The 007A has a bit less extreme bass than the 404 and a bit of a low/midbass peak, peakier but less broad than the Sigma, but in other respects is so nicely balanced tonally that one quibbles to complain.

I GOT MYSELF SOME SR-LAMBDA's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Sr-Lambda + SRD7/SB for the low, low price of $300.

Life is so sweet!

*Finally Owning my Dream Phones*

Haha , actually would make the best transportable rig ever
iPod > SI Gen2 T-Amp run on Batteries > SRD-7/SB > SR-Lambda

Though it would only be brought outside for car trips....

woot

Not the deal of the century, but congrats anyway. BTW, the Stax thread is one of last few places on head-fi where people have intelligent and rational discussions, please try to keep it that way.

You mean rational, other than dropping $5000 on a headphone/energizer combo?

-=Germania=-, congrats. I really like the original Lambda. $300 is how much the combo goes for though, sometimes even less...

I paid more than $300, but I was impatient

Nope, spending 5000$ on that combo would just be crazy. I spent less than 1600$ for the O2 and SRD-7 Mk2 together.

When I said rational, I was referring to some of the stuff that she wrote in the DIY section and dancing monkeys with lots of exlamation points and capital letters. Maybe I'm alone in my rant, but I feel the Stax thread is more serious than that.

Watch out! The SR-Lambda is the gateway earspeaker to heavier STAX.

Yeah, I realize that.

Guys, don't worry. I have been keeping pretty quiet as of late and generally trying not to be so very silly. My "summer phase" was one of arrogance and ignorance. School has a way of making reality set in a little more.

I don't see myself dropping the money for some of the greater Stax for quite a while. Lambda's are plenty good for me ATM.
Lately, I have been seeing that combo going for $400+ on eBay which is why I was so happy about it.

Hello

Does anyone here have in their possession original Stax frequency response graph for SR-007 Mk1? Thanks in advance.

So what you really mean is, "We really don't need more of your kind here in the Stax thread, move along." (speaking to the monkey, not Germania)
