I had the 404LE, probably my favorite Lambda.

I've been enjoying it. Probably like it more than 009 and 007mkii from memory

My opinion probably counts for crud but I'm always happy to learn more about gear from people who aren't likely to be shills or deaf, haha.

Actually I had the Airbow 404 version, which is suppose to be the same. Sold them and the SRM-T1S that I refurbed when I started thinning the headphone herd. Still have a SR-202 and SRM-212 to slake my e-stat thirst.

@JK47 just an energizer? Which amp were you piggy backing off? I've been playing around with srd7 professional with studio and nc400 monos

I had an SRD-7 Pro in the beginning, but it didn't really do the Stax earspeakers justice in my opinion. Then I had a SRM-313 I refurbed that was ok, but the SRM-T1S I refurbed later was better. Now it's just the lowly SRM-212 energizer, basically the predecessor to the modern SRM-252.

using speaker amp in front of that?

Not possible to use speaker amp with 313, T1S, 212, or 252. They are stand alone energizers, not transformers. I did try a Pioneer m-22, Cambridge Audio 651, Mitsubishi A-D10, with the SRD-7 Pro, and felt it lacked the detail and attack of a dedicated energizer, kinda slow and soft.
