Going around eBay and found this:
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/Stax-Lambda-Professional-headphone-system-/200468828329?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eacdf90a9
 
Maybe helpful for someone.
 
Cheers

^ ^ What da hell? US eBay is blocked to Europe?

 

[Damnegy]

Even if I use the .com, it doesn't work (tried .fr, .co.jp, .co.uk, .ca) ... ^_^'
Seems like fate doesn't want me to see that deal!

That's a pretty good deal... but its US only (and I already have some SR-Λ Pros )

 

[DyBre]

unfortunately, the amp is meant for normal bias. SR lambda pro cant be used with the amp provided. they are cheap though.

No. Maybe France have special restrictions on what contents their citizens may view.

I thought it has both Pro and Normal Bias?

 

[glac1er]

Correct me if I'm wrong,
 
The original SRM-1 and SRM-1/MK-2 have 2 normal bias outputs:

For pro bias Lambdas like the Lambda pro, you want the SRM-1/MK-2 Pro (has normal and pro bias output) or SRM-1/MK-2 PP( 2 pro bias outputs).

The one in that auction seems to be the normal bias SRM-1/MK-2. The Lambda Pro will run through that but the sound will not be optimal since the Lambda Pro are intended to run through pro bias.

 

[SillyHoney]

Oh I think you are right. Since I saw 2 outputs I thought one is Normal and one is Pro

 
It's ridiculous to have 2 same outputs tho.

No it's not; you can drive 2 pairs of headphones at the same time. So if you were trying to compare 2 pairs of headphones it makes your job slightly easier.

This. Though I'd imagine it'd be a gimmick to the vast majority of people the vast majority of the time.

But then you wouldn't be driving the headphone to that amp's potential since it'd have to drive two headphones.

I suppose I've only ever tried to drive 2 pairs of stax headphones from my amp on 1 occasion - iirc it didnt sounded that bad. Havent ever tried 3 pairs of earseakers though. 

Anyway considering the amp in OP's ebay link I tried plugging in some pro bias headphones into a normal bias plug - sounds crap (although the ebay seller says it "lives up to the reputation").
