Couldn't we just use bolts as posts on say four corners and nuts and washers to clamp it down?

How were the drivers mounted on the real sigmas anyway? Also glue?

Nice work scott16. But since this was laser cut, you might have asked the guy to make it with dovetails and front grill while we're at it. Might have made it easier to assemble and safer for the drivers.

Anyone done it? So a couple of years ago, I mean probably a decade ago when I was here, there was someone who posted about sending in their stax sigma to the American distributor to get it upgraded with lambda 404 drivers, cable and headband. I contacted the distributor back then for a quote...

Holy necrorevive batman. Here are just a two more pics of what it looks like after the operation, for reference. They cut off the lead very short at the factory and it was quite a tight fit trying to solder blue & purple to the switch. Your amp might be less lucky.     Here is the...

So if i understand well: brown -> BRN green -> GRN Which means brown and green are connected to nothing, like blue and purple was? And: blue + purple -> power switch Wow, that was easier than i though.

Here are the pictures as promised. Looks a lot different than the SRM-313. Simpler if you ask me, but i don't know what they mean, so i hope i shot the right place. Grey, green and brown leads are connected to the power switch. Grey and white are connected to the back of WHT. The blue...

Hum. I'll try to take some pics but i don't have a digital camera. I'll see if any friends can lend me theirs to take some shots. I'll see what i can do, it'll be reference for the community too if that happens. As for the link, yeah i think that's the thread. Indeed it's the 313, not the...

Well, from what i can remember, there was a picture of the innards of the SRM-300 with leads having colored sleevings and someone had actually tried it. I think doctor Kevin Gilmore said which lead had to go where but i can't seem to find the thread. A multi paged thread at that.

Hi, I know there exist a thread here in head-fi with instructions on how to do this, but i can't find it anymore. I haven't been on these boards for a long time (happy wallet) so it's hard for me to track it down (was it in that long stax thread?) I bought a Stax SRM-300 from audiocubes and...

Argn, and i just shelled out 250CADs for a pair of speakers.

Well i don't know much about speakers either and head-fi isn't much about speakers anyways, but from personnal experience with the atom monitor v5, i can say they surely as hell aren't worth the 750$ they are charging you over there. They have this mid-bass resonance that makes some of my tracks...

Follow-up: After two months of roading, the speakers have perceptibly leveled the mid bass hump. It's a lot more tolerable now.

I'm sure every country has some great localy produced speakers for cheap so if the paradigms are unavailable in your locality, then just buy the equivalent from local.

I just tried stuffing the back ports. Looks like it's fixing a large part of the hump! Will try out more of the repertoire to see if it fits with everything, but seems promising! EDIT: Hum... well it hard to tell, and it seems to be fatiguing in another way, now the highs stand out a bit too...

Well that's exactly the problem for me actually, the hump. It messes with my music. I wish they just left it flat, too bad if there isn't enough, it'd still be better than hearing this hump jump out a you and then back as instruments play in this range up and down. The hump is just too narrow...

Got my atoms for a couple of weeks now and wanted to come back and share my thoughts on these. I have one main gripe about these speakers: the bass. They just don't extend low enough. Maybe i've been spoiled by my staxes that just stretched and stretched and stretched into the lows and made them...

I don't know, the guy at the shop showed me the Bronze R B1, he said the metalized tweezers on those were better. Don't know about the radius serie. In fact, i didn't even listen to them, i didn't want to bother the guy to get it hooked up in the listening room for budget bookshelfs. And the...

Alright! Spilled the beans on the atom v.5. That was 225CADs for the pair. For the next 3 months, i'll be eating with my ears. Never look back! If anything, i still got my headphones.

I also got an offer for monitor audio bronze R B1 for 300CADs. That's stretching the budget a bit but i wonder if the upgrade is worth it.

Initially, i had a budget of 100$ but i've upped that to 300 to cover these two. What i'm looking for is soundstaging, since it's the one thing that i'm missing with my otherwise great staxes (even the sigmas). Which of these two will be the best overall and more specifically better, more...

EA-5 is just about the same as EA-1 in a new chasis. I asked him to make it tall instead of wide, so he made amp and power supply separate. And i've never heard my sigmas clip. Very smooth from bottom to levels as high as i can bear. And sorry, i don't got the words to describe what they sound...

Better late than never. Here's a pic of my stax setup. McAlister EA-5 plugged to stax sigma and 404 (on headphone stand). That stand is a cookie tin, pretty classy eh? Sorry the pic is blurry. Shot this manual with a Nikon FM2, low light, no flash, and the amp was going deep.

Ooof, 80 bucks is a lot of money! What kind of battery do these headphones take? And the transmitter? I've seen some infra red headphones being liquidated at 30$ but those were too big.
