That's a lot of science stuff I don't know. Thanks for helping though.

No worries. The main reason for learning that "science stuff" is that many manufacturers give technical information about their designs. In some cases it is real, in other cases it is BS. A basic understanding of science helps sort out reality from BS. When a manufacturer uses technical BS to sell his product, it should make one wary. When a manufacturer makes basic technical errors, it should make one wary. IMHO of course.

I would definitely try to snag a used KGSSHV or save up for the $2,300 KGSSHV that spritzer sells.

I can vouch for the “cheap” kgsshv. Wonderful pairing with the 007s

My 300LE were a little hard sounding for the first 10 hours, now they are much better. @ahmedie have you tried the 300LE with the L700 pads?

Which energizer are you using the L300LE with? Is it ok on the SRM-252s?

 

[CT007]

Ye I am using L700 pads ! The L500/limiter pads are have hard material with less leather compared with L700 which is very light and fluffy thicker and more leather, I am sure that L300limied will be so close to L700 after burn in, they are smoothing out eventually

Is the L300LE ok with the SRM-252s, do you know?

ahh stax.. how I missed you..

my srm1-mk2 died last september..
I took a while to deliberate whether it was worth sinking money into repairs or buying something that wasn't built 2 decades ago ..
then this week I happened upon an auction for an srm-Xh with a Golden Reference Low Voltage psu that was built last year....and even included a Lambda Spirit all for less than I originally bought my srm1 for

only had a couple hours with it so far.. but the bliss is back!
the Spirit seemed rather etchy in the treble compared to my 404's... I think i'll need to hunt up some different pads for the spirit..

Could I get some quick advice please? I have a SRX MkIII/SRD-7 combo. The volume is a little lower on the left at times, occasionally there is a hum when no music is playing, and the SRD-7 is pretty ancient. I was thinking that something like a SRM-313 would be a better bet than having the SRD-7 rebuilt. (I have no experience with a soldering iron) Well, a SRM-313 has become available. My questions are:
a) would it be a significant sonic upgrade, beyond having R/L volume control?
b) Would I be better served spending the money on a pair of Oppo PM-3s?
My budget is restricted.

Is the channel imblalance in the headphone?
If yes, buy 003Mk2 for 50$ less than PM3 or L300 for 30$ more, and forget your troubles.
Didn't know SRD-7 is not Pro Bias, forget it.


PM3 is nowhere near electrostats anyway, don't waste your money.

Thanks. At least you answered one of my questions.
Would you know anything about the SRM-313 or any later model driver with normal bias?

I only have Pro Bias amps.
If the imbalance is in the headphone, it makes no sense to invest in an amplifier.
Better start saving for a Pro Bias set.

It should be fine if you listen at normal volumes. (It is also possible to upgrade the power supply)

It sounded rather harsh to me, out of my Mimby :\ Much better bass, and detail, but a much less smooth sound.

What are the current views on SR-L300LE vs SR-L500 ? I am thinking of getting a lambda to accompany my 007s.

I had both the L300 LE and 007 and don't really think it's worth getting. Pretty similar sound signature, but more nasally, grainy, and worse in imaging. Doesn't extend as deep either so acoustics sound off, although EQ might be an option. For what it's worth it does have a wider soundstage
