I'm thinking about replacing the earpads on my Lambda Signature Pro, because they're really old, but at the same time:
if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and they ain't exactly "broke."
They still sound
fantastic, of course, even though the pads don't make a seal even a little bit (in contrast my SR-407 pads make a strong seal). I don't know what to expect new pads to do to the sound. Do most people find that to sound better, subjectively? Is there even any difference in the sound, and the primary benefits to new pads are mostly just comfort related?
I believe they are still on their original pads! They must have been made in the mid-1980s I think?
Are there any different options when it comes to replacing Lambda earpads? Is the Stax OEM stuff you can ship from Japan the only choice? I love Dekoni's pads and I have a pair on every non-stax I own, but so far they haven't returned my email asking about Lambdas.
