The Lambda Signature is the finest Lambda I've personally heard.
I'm going to change the tubes in my T1s. Mine has some no name Americans, which some said may be the source of brightness/etch in my Lambdas.
I have the choice of a Japnese ITT 6CG7 short or long plate. Also, a Raytheon 6CG7 pair but they are almost double the price of the ITTs. Has anyone had experience with these?
Thank you.
What's this about revised 727 and 007t amps?

from Arnaud:
Last stop was Stax, having my traditional chit chat with Sasaki-san (director of sales):
- Nothing new at the show but we may expect something at the fall festival in the entry level (portable gear)
- No news about the T2 return but the project isn't completely canned at least
- We may see a refresh of the existing driver line, in particular the SRM727 and / or SRM007t2
- About the rumour in regards to changes to the SR007 and SR009: there's no such thing! (what do you expect them to say ).
- About the pads: there might have been alterations to the foam material but that is admittedly out of Stax control / something that sometimes happens at the supplier.
- Also sasaki-san commented that all their pads are made by hand by a small artisan. No two pads are identical to the others so these manufacturing variations may partly explain differences in sound perceived by some with some recent batches.
- Conclusion: Stax remains Stax, it's business as usual there .
This thread is sleeping. Let's go for some SR-X/mk3 pro love :
Got rid of a small dust on the mylar within the left driver (there initially was some slight buzzing sometimes when bias comes in), new pads arrived today from audiocubes and in place.
They are now what I call "mint". Maybe the coolest looking headphones I have, and great sound too.
Just my 2 cents of happiness for today
This was one of the first phones for which I used sorbothane to stop mechanical resonance distortion. It turns them into something quite remarkable.

SR307 = Gamma Pro < Lamda Sig < HE60 < 009 = Sigma Pro ~= 007mk2 < 007mk1
