I truly understand your love for the Sigmas. I keep listening to Bach's chorales and I am always amazed at the clarity of the voices, with absolute lack of sibilance, which makes them very enjoyable and non fatiguing.

I measured them on my Lambda Signature and they are 11.1 mm long.

I think the last one I measured was 7/16 of an inch.

 

[paaj]

that would be the same as Michgelsen measured

Gilency and Ed, agreed.

new to the stax scene....have took the plunge, sold off my HD650s to peice together a pair of Lambda pros and a SRM-1 MK2.

Im amazed at this setup....its FANTASTIC...i really does sing for my jazz collection. Ive discovered my music all over again.

right now, i should be sound asleep in my bed, however im just stuck listening to Anthony Wilson (Saivity, 2005)...the sound of him hitting the snare is magical!

Glad to hear you got them, Staxes are magical creatures indeed.

I got my first Stax recently, a pair of SR-003. I was preparing a feedback for this thread but i might transform that into a review

Anyway they're great, quite above anything i've heard until then. Easily a league above universal IEMs such as PFEs or RE0s (that i both liked better than AD900s or unamped DT880s). Great tonal balance overall, slightly dark because of the recessed treble but still very transparent. Incredible speed, dynamics and impact. Mind-blowing soundstage for earphones with the right source.

I also had a chance to audition the O2 Mk2, i was even more impressed. I'm debating whether it's worth the price or not (second hand of course). Before getting the SR-003 i was thinking of getting a pair of Lambdas but i fear the treble etch even more now that i discovered the dark side of Stax

Basically i just want something neutral (more treble and deep bass than the SR-003), fast, with a good imaging. I'm wondering if the ESP 950 would be a step in the right direction as well in terms of neutrality. Any input would be very much appreciated

You can check out the 404LE. It sound neutral with good bass. It does reminds me slightly of HE60 but with more punch.

 

[mobbaddict]

Would it sound neutral even with a cheap SRM-212? But it's a bit expensive for me anyway (i know the 007 is twice the price but i would be done with upgrading headphones if i bought it

). I'm thinking of the Nova Signature too.

I've yet to hear the SRM-212 so can't comment. However, I do believe that 404LE still sound good. And it much easier to drive than O2. It's limited edition so get it before it's gone.

mobbaddict, I am glad to hear you finally have something you really enjoy.

I still have the AD900 and am upgrading to the Lambda Nova Basic and SRD7MKII combo (in transit). If you already have a quality speaker amp - it could be even cheaper to get an SRD adapter instead of the 212.

 

[mobbaddict]

I'll keep an eye on it ical thanks.

Thanks Philimon

I already have the 212 and i find it very convenient, it's so small! I think it's able to drive all the Stax headphones as long as the source is good (even the O2 sounded great out of an high end DAC and through the 212). The Novas look like a good compromise but since i've never heard any Lambda... i look forward to your comparison with the AD900
