So how do those two differ?
I've got Lambda Pro Signatures, Lambda Pro, SR-007's as well as Beyer ET-1000's and Koss ESP-950's with Stax cables on them. I've also got LCD-2's, and you are right- the LCD-2's really have it going on but the Lambda Pro Signature and especially the SR-007 do offer something that the LCD-2's don't have, but also the LCD-2's offer things the Stax don't. I really got to have them ALL LOL
The ESP-950's are nice on my Stax SRM-T1 and SRM-1/MK II but I don't know that they really give me anything that the Stax don't. Well a little more bass "slam" then the Lambda Signatures, and really they are quite good of themselves. But for me they are a bit redundant considering the Stax 'phones I have. But I had to try them.
My Beyer ET-1000's, something's wrong with them. A bad driver I suspect. Right channel starts out sounding OK but then after about 1 minute level starts to drop eventually being 15 dB or so below left channel. Cable is OK (new cable, Stax 6-pin cable) and bias voltage looks OK with my DVM. I'm afraid it is the driver. Too bad, too; aside from this serious problem, they sound pretty good. Different from Stax.
My SR-007's don't sound very good on the T2, and on the SRM-1/MK II they sound good but give me the impression that they could sound MUCH better.... so I am currently building a DIY T2. Parts I've ordered are starting to come in, but this is going to take a long while, maybe a year. A complex build.
