Cheers!

I have Stax Lambda (no "Pro", no "Signature") earphones (or
"earspeakers" as they prefer to call them) driven by the
tranformerbased SRD7B unit. They do sound good but a little harsh compared to my speakers, Quad ESl-63. I suspect that the drive unit may be the unit at fault here, but I don't know. It is probably not broken; it has sounded this way since I bought them, some 13 years ago. I have now started to use the more and thought I should do something about it. I have two alternatives:
1. Get a better (transformerless) drive unit.
2. Sell the Staxes and buy good dynamic headphones. Sennheiser 580 / 590 / 600 comes to mind.
Have any of you compared my drive unit and a better one? Or compared my Stax to any of the Sennheisers?
