Stax Hdphns: SRM-1/SRX versusLambda Pro/SRD/7


I am trying to find out which Stax system was better in terms of the headphone amp or the transformer box--I have the Lambda headphones with SRD/7 transformer "box" that can switch between speakers and phones. Headphones sound very good but also a little "hard"; and I have concluded it is the fault of the SRD/7 box. Therefore, is the SRM-1Mk-2 headphone "amp" an upgrade from the SRD/7 transformer box?? Can the Lambda phones plug into the SRM-1?? What was the price difference of these two systems?? and the year they hit the market. Thank you, SJ

I don't know the price difference, but I have the Lambda pro hooked into the SRM-1/MK-2. How does it sound? Hard. These headphones are not forgiving at all. I have heard that their tube amps are far less "hard" and have been interested in trying a pair for a while. I can see why these headphones are often used by recording engineers--they tell it like it is--with no politeness.
