Just wondering Does anybody here want to sell their exstata to me? You'll need to ship it to toronto

Most iof the 100V amps were like that.  They didn't ship with the plug so they are hardwired for 100V at the back of the socket.  To gain access to that you have to remove back panel.

i think i see brown connected to green
and white connected to gray
so its wired for 100 volts.

I was looking at a Lambda Signature on Ebay and am convinced that what I bought about a year ago as a supposed Signature is something else, even though the cups say Signature.  The Sig currently on Ebay has Black around the drivers.  Mine is gold,  Could this be an  LNS?
 
On the other hand my Sigma Pros, remade by Stax,  have the Black around the drivers as I understand they should since they were supposedly based on the first Signature.

Gold around the drivers means they are from the Nova lineup.

They certainly look a lot more like this.

I am  a little pissed because the seller claimed to have  both LNS and Signatures and charged more for the Sigs.  It ended up being a very difficult transaction when the phones and an SRM1Mk2 didn't show up for over a month from England and I filed a claim through Paypal.  The guy doesn't seem to be in business anymore.

So I gather the arc and headstrap on this particular pair of Stax looks more like the LNS ones than those of the lambda sigs.
 
I suppose the evidence points towards you having a pair of LNS as their assemblies do look pretty different.

Ed, I have some LNS in front of me now. The drivers are gold rimmed as Birgir said, the rest looks almost exactly like a 404, apart from the type on the top of the arc. The Lambda Signature has a similar arc and case holders to the Lambda/Lambda Pro and has a thinner cable than the LNS or 404. It had a black rimmed driver.

Thanks John.  I can see now that I have an LNS. Aside from the driver, the arc assembly is definitely LNS.     A well, some think it's better than the original Sig, so I am not too unhappy.

That lambskin really gives "grace of sound".

 

[charliex]

In their advertising for the SR-507, what do they mean by:
"the freshness of sound" and
"the grace of sound"  ??
