Comparative review: Stax SR- Lambda vs. SR-Lambda Nova Signature vs. SR-303, with special guest Koss ESP/950

[E.B.M.Head]

Damn it, I realy love my Lambda Nova Classic. The dude I bought it some years ago from told me that the Lambda Nova Signature is a step up, but just a very little one (He bought that one as a replacement). Reading this thread makes me want to go on a bidding war on a LNS ...

I think LNC should sound very similar to LNS as the only difference is a better wide cable on the LNS, so you have no need to get an LNS if you have LNC.

Either way, stats have definitely worked their way under my skin.

Everyone look here - we did just that on Marc's KGSS, which has an adjustable bias to keep everyone happy - OII and LambdaPro at 580v and Koss at 620v. Remember, I was comparing Koss to HE60 (yes, at the 560v) and the OII. It was in the same place, but I just didn't think any better. Give me Senn, or give me death.

Thanks! For everyone else - I've done some more of the work for you if you don't have to read the whole thread:

Thanks! I totally forgot that one...

how would you or anybody compare them to the 404?

 

[Faust2D]

SR-404 are very very close to SR-303, so you might just substitute SR-404 for SR-303 in my comparison.
