hi all, i left my lambda pros plugged into the srm-1/mk-2 and switched on while i was at work today so that they could "charge" so that when i got home they would be ready to sing. however when i got home i got the biggest shock of my life to find that the right channel is substantially...

There have been a lot of discussions, comparisons and lengthy reviews that went over all of the virtues and faults of these headphones. I don't want to star another thread like this. I want this to be a simple headcount for people that had both and preferred one over the other. There are a...

I'm referring to this article: http://kenrockwell.com/audio/stax/sr-lambda-pro.htm#comp     and would like to solicit opinions about this set.  Also, there are so many listings for the Lambda Pro on eBay that I get confused regarding which one to consider.  In the article, the author mentioned...

I have a pair of 6-pin Stax SR-Lambda that's driven by an amp + SRD-6. The left side, however, has minimum bass. There is little channel imbalance or any observable distortion on the left side, just a lack of bass. I have switched speaker cables, reversed channels in my computer, even resoldered...

Hi,   A few years back, I purchased a pair of SR Lambda Pros, SRM-1 / MK2 Driver Unit, and SRD-X battery powered portable adaptor.  All was fine for a year or so but now the left earspeaker plays much lower than the right earspeaker, maybe as much as 6dB less loud.  I have swapped the SRM...

I have been lurking around these forums for a bit and doing so has resparked an interest in headphone listening. Thanks to all for the information.   My reason for posting is this... I have a set of Stax SR Lamba headphones with the SRD-6SB adapter and extension cable in mint condition. I've...

I just got my Stax gear (SR-Lambda Pro, SRM 1-MK2, SR-30).  I excitedly plugged in the lambdas but to my disappointment there is static on any bass note.  It's especially bad in the left ear.  The SR-Lambdas are professional but there is no label on the amp.  I'm assuming this means it is normal...

Hey all....   Posted this a long time ago in the non-summit fi section but was told I'd get a better response in the summit-fi section.   What is the best closed form factor headphone one could buy that is excellent for electronic based music, my budget is $2k, and please no Denon and...

Hello, Soon I am going to acquire a pair of Stax lambda pros and the Stax srm-1/mk2 amplifier. I have only recently begun to be interested in to the headphone game with some ath-m50's (big jump to stax I know xD). Im planning on mainly running my new earspeakers through my pc. Currently, I just...

Received some Lambda Pros and I'm having an issue with the right can dropping out. I'm sure it is an issue with the cable because in one specific location if I kink the cable a bit it fixes the issue. Does anyone know where I could pick up a replacement cable, or anyone who would sell me one? I...

I was comparing the SR 507 the other day against a friend's 407 and I noticed that the 407 was way more comfortable due to what seemed like a different headband design.  The pads on the SR507 press into the jowls and while it never really bothered me before, comparing it against the 407 made me...

I am the new owner of a Stax SRM-T1 and Lambda Pro earspeakers.  The sound of this 20 year-old system is quite exemplary.  I have only one issue: the headphones are extremely large, especially from the front.  I normally wouldn't care, but I work on a trading floor and these things produce...

Hi all, I'm sitting here with some unusable lambdas as a result of a failed attempt to restore them. The cable that came with them was doing a lot of noises, it was in really bad shape. I got some 600v rated pure copper cable for them, cut it in 6 parts and stranded them (is that the correct...

Title says it all. I'm buying my first good headphone setup - a STAX Lambda Pro with an SRM-1/MK-2 amp, and I need a DAC to go with it.  I'm tentatively planning on a uDAC-2 but am not wedded to the idea. Any insights?  $200 would be my absolute upper limit, but $70-$130 is what I'm really...

I just got a SR-Lambda's in the mail and noticed that there's some green stuff on the grill, it doesn't look too good. I think want to clean the stuff off of the grill. How would you go about it? I tried opening it and found that it's gonna be pretty tough so I immediately put everything back...

I came across a Stax SR-Lambda PRO just now, It has no energizer however. I can get myself a SRD-6/SRD-7, however it is normal Bias. Should I be OK powering the Lambda PRO with this?   I read that I would need to keep the volume down to avoid damage and that they wouldn't play as loud as...
