    AKG K3003 High End 3 Way System Headphone

    Still enjoy mine Ibasso DX200 amp 5 or AK 70mk2 also sometimes run them from my SPL Phonitor 2 or Microzotl desktop amps. I use Final Audio tips with mine which give me a good seal.

    The Stax SR-507 Thread

    Similar yes. The 507s seem a little more defined perhaps a touch colder. Backing vocals that i could hear with the 407 but sounded a tad muffled sometimes seem clearer. Bass is more controlled on the 507s. Im not sure the percentage difference in price is entirely justified on sonic grounds...

    The Stax SR-507 Thread

      I have the original normal bias Lambdas and they do have their merits over the 507 in my view. They are leaner in presentation with the bass and midrange being lightweight compared to the 507 but with this brings an even more transparent presentation. It seems to suit instrumental/classical ...

    The Stax SR-507 Thread

    Ive not had the 650s but had the 595s and yes a very comfortable headphone indeed. I find the STAX are similar , very light weight ( although the 507 is heavier than my other Lambdas ). My ears fit inside the pads and dont touch at all. I like the fit and feel of the real leather pads  I find...

    The Stax SR-507 Thread

    Ive just got a pair of new 507s and I am wondering about burning in. Dynamic drivers form experience require it but is this the same with new Stax Phones. They sound very good as is with only about five hours on them and I have read comments some saying they improve some saying they will not...

    Grado Fan Club!

    I was the same i ended up with 5 pairs at one point which is a small collection compared to some and yes its nice to be able to switch between them however you are looking at a sizeable cash sum being tied up in equipment that hardly gets used and in my case i felt it better to slim down the...

    The Stax Thread III

    Also if anyone has done a direct comparison between the 407 and 507 that would be interesting. Id like to get the 507s however as i have a pair of 407s that are not 100% i could use them as spares should the need arise and thus the 407 would make more sense. I Have tried the original Lambda ear...

    Thanks for the reply if you do decide to sell on the LNS then please bear me in mind thanks. My system consists of a Metrum Octave NOS DAC or Audio Note DAC Sig  I mainly play FLACs / WAVs from my PC via a Hiface EVO full stack SPDIF convertor and Master clock. Cabling either Chord Signature or...

    The Entry Level Stax Thread

    Im looking to upgrade my original Lambdas at some point how do the lower end new Stax models compare with say the SR 407 or SR 307 which are the only two current Lambdas I have listened to. Best David

    Is B&W P5 worth it?

    I had the P5s along side some Grado PS500s and RS1is. I enjoyed the P5s and they are far easier to take out and about with you. I also found them a tad veiled but removing the leaher from the center of the ear cups and neatly sticking it back down opened them out nicely. I ultimately passed them...

      You have to support Local Dealers where possible my one for example lends me all sort of kit and its only fair he sees some return on this. Also he is good as gold when an issue arises. I am not sure id want to take the risk with something very expensive from overseas. All that being said...

     Bah i also forgot to ask a couple of questions myself. I have the SRM T1 Amp. Firstly what mods if any are recommended and doe anyone have a schematic or manual for it? Can you have two pairs of phones plugged in at the same time. eg 1 normal bias and 1 pro or 2 pros? Lastly as its in my hifi...

    Just a heads up. I bought a pair of SR407 Lambdas as faulty the left ear speaker having a channel imbalance issue and distortion. I bought them mainly to use the headband for an original pair of Lambda normal bias phones I purchased recently. Anyway after a few phone calls and establishing the...
