What amp were/are you using with the 007, with the L300?

High Amp Elektra.

I dont really agree on the very hard to drive saying about the 007 after mods.

It benefits from extra power rms/peak and control but after mods it is not very different from Lambda in terms of volume.

It is very muffled and obstructed with layers of metal, rubber, spring and thick mesh stock.

Oh you know/have Andreas’ new ELEKTRA!! I had the prototype to test and was very impressed, would have kept it if I didn’t already have his SIRIUS V9!!

I have to ask for anyone here in the know - Any idea what the SRM-Xh is worth? I'm trying to sell it with a Lambda Pro and can't tell if I'm undervaluing the two together at €250 or hell even overvaluing. I just reduced from €300 in the ad. It doesn't come with original 12V plug which I think makes it intermittent to turn on when using it with my 9V, but I need that for something else anyway. Price advice on its own without original plug would be appreciated!

max EUR250-300 I'd say

For headphone + SRM-Xh right? Or separately. Appreciate the response, trying to be honest and realistic with pricing here so needed a reference from experienced folk.

The set I meant; massively depends on condition especially those LAMBDA PRO hedphones: pads, foam, cable, plugs etc all OK?

 

[folkguy]

Not exactly, condition is fair for the headphone. In fully working condition just a bit worn on the pads, old foam is still there, headband still intact etc. Anyway thanks, I'll adjust from here.

how much of a problem is dust with older stax models? I'm thinking of getting an older stax model just to try them but this whole thing of if you get dust in it it will ruin them kinda puts me off from it especially since i always leave my headphones on the table and i will surely forget to cover them after use a lot, i already forget to turn off my amp constantly.

I have multiple pairs from the 70s without any issue, so they hold up well - but if you don't cover them you're just playing Russian Roulette.

 

[cplus44]

is it easy to get dust out at all if it does happen?

My 80's Lambda NB are still going strong, were left out for long periods with nothing covering them.
My ex even stomped on them and they still work fine. One gimble is cracked but still functioning.

I would say no, though I have no direct experience. My understanding is that once a mote of dust gets onto the diaphragm, it's hard to get off without potentially hurting the diaphragm itself. The dust will cause it to squeal and that will effectively ruin your enjoyment. Someone with steady hands and knowledge of estats can repair or even replace the diaphragm but that's a whole can of worms. Far easier to bag it up, imo.

But I'm sure many people here have more hands-on experience with dust issues than I have, so don't take my word.

And glad to hear your NB survived such trauma, @bearFNF, and glad to hear that Lambda-stomper is an EX! Those are special gifts that will only further disappear with time.

I'm lucky things like this haven't happened to me much more often
