So what do you think of the sound?

Sounds great!
Now please post some pictures, and impressions on how it sound.

I'm using a SRM-T1 driver from a Lexicon MC-1/Pioneer Elite DVD player to driver them. They seemed to have more high end than low end. I noticed if I put my hands over the sides the bass got deeper. I'm thinking of trying different material's to test the effects on the sound. Prehaps the batting I have is lettting too much sound escape. I have the original material but prefer to have something new. Has anyone replaced the material or done testing with other types?

Pictures the only ones I have been able to uplaod are very small black and white ones. I've seen a post with large color ones. How can that be done?

Upload your pictures to something like: http://imageshack.us
Then link them up with

Yo! John Buchanaan did you ever get your Sigma repaired?

Ed, sorry been spending too much time internet dating for train spotter stuff. Sigmas are on the head and rocking. Initial impressions compared with the Omega 2 less lower bass, like the midrange better, rolled treble, but much better than the low bias Sigmas. Very inefficient compared with the Original Sigma and the Lambda Nova Signature or the Omega 2. I like the Omega 2 the best, Sigma Pro second and the LNS last (a bit too bright). Anyone thinking about the Sigma to Sigma Pro upgrade should go for it but will need at least an SRM 1 Mk 2 or 717 to drive them easily I suspect.

Good review! Short and to the point.

I believe you were going to use 404 drivers this time?

I can't say I was struck by the lack of efficiency of the Sigma/404 compared to the real 404. They run about 1 notch higher on the 717 volume control than the 404. I don't have an Omega to compare them with, but on balance I prefer the Sigma/404 to the real 404.

404 drivers were used - although Accutech said they couldn't replicate the distortion while they were modifying the phones, I went ahead regardless - I could see them being returned and intermittent fault would reappear. Sound very nice, but much less efficient than the LNS set.

Sounds risky! Good phones should be able to take your mind off the opposite sex. An old girlfriend in Melbourne, on listening to my first electrostatics said, "with this you don't need anyone - you don't need sex!" Maybe you should look her up.

Egad! This is like totally reminiscent of the climactic (or is it climatic?) moment of self-revelation, the very tip of Freitag's Triangle, of an EM Forster novel!

The moment when self-awareness lays on the afterburners.

There they are, hero and heroine immersed (embedded?) in a tech-crazy world. The moment hangs in the air, hesitates. Then, eyes wide open, he clutches his electrostatics, still charged with a full 580 volts, and says, hoarsely, "The Stax and me, we need to be alone now." Fade out.

Climactic, I believe, unless you're talking about global warming

Staxen are apparently capable of warming some owners globally, thus the momentary word-choice indecision.

Come to think of it, they might have moved ol' EMF the same way. We'll never know.

Some scientists still dispute that, though.
