> shure SRH1840 -vs- lambda?
 
I listened to a pair of SRH1840 for a brief time in a dealer showroom.  I can't remember any details other than they were inferior to the other phones I listened to that day which included LCD2, HD800, and SRM-207 being driven by a SRM-252.

got it, thanks

 

[singh]

sr-404 , sr404LE , lambda signature , lambda pro.
 
I remember reading here, one of the above has insane transient response and details .
 
which one was it ?

 

[autoteleology]

What is the difference between the new and old Lambda lines, such as the SR-202 vs the SR-207?

Really all of them, but the Lambda Signature in particular.

Thanks.
 
thought so, got confused cause 404  also had "signature" added to it ( i was like "which signature" ?) . then 404LE was an update over 404 , thats why i got 404LE. 
 
is there a reason i should get the lambda signature ( when i have 404LE ) . Not a collector but, i would like to hear the difference( if big )
 
i also have LNS and ESP950

 

[sphinxvc]

^ how's the LNS compared to the 950?

 

[livewire]

Singh hopefully will answer this.
I have the 950. It is good, but I would bet that the STAX LNS will beat it. (haven't heard a LNS tho...)
My lowly Stax 202 slays it.

LS vs LNS ,their timbre are almost (75%) identical,
the LS reveals the super micro details, while the LNS is more forgiving,relaxing,
 
If you have a very good source & amp, the LS is a better phone,clear,real & convincing sound.
 
On many systems, LNS is more listenable,the LS  "etch" can give you headaches,

 

[t-h-e-p-i-m-p]

This is all true.
 
Nova series is more balanced, lambda pro and lambda signature needs great dac and amp to make the "etch" being tolerate.

 

[milosz]

I LIKE the Lambda Signature etch.  

 
Just not all the time.

 

[DefQon]

What's this 'etch' on said Lambda model's? 

 

[singh]

am using the LNS with SRM T1W. ( and 950 with its stock amp)
you remember sound of 950 ?
LNS is a little warmer than 950, smoother treble.  soundstage is open but i dont find the separation good enough in both ( or my other headphones for that matter)
950 are more balanced overall, with better bass extension, and are faster than LNS.
 
build wise LNS are getting old , make noise whenever one handles them.
 
LNS's headpad is deteriorating, i need to get better pads.
 
EDIT : yup i was hoping to LNS to have hot treble but thats not the case. no "itch" so to speak.

Yeah I remember.  Eek, better bass extension than 950?  =/  I'm good.

Thx for opining.

A mild upper-mid (4-6khz iirc) spike. It's not a family trait tho, Just some 'chosen' few. the most frequent said offender was the SR-404.
