Klassisk förstärkare till Stax elektrostatiska hörlurar. Fungerar som den ska. Normal och PRO bias. Fint originalskick med nåt litet märke som skulle kunna målas i. För åldern fantastiskt skick. Perfekt matchning med lambda pro och nb med flera i samma serie.
The SRM-1 is a classic Stax energizer, and at kr 3,200 this listing sits a bit above your recent comparable market: it’s above the kr 2,910 median and just over the kr 3,075 75th percentile, so I’d call it slightly ambitious, but not wildly off. It is not a bargain on the numbers alone, but it’s close enough to the upper end that condition and completeness matter more than a small price gap.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual Stax appeal: clean drive, low-noise presentation, and the ability to wake up older electrostats with real authority if the unit is healthy. If it’s been properly serviced, comes from a careful owner, and includes the right cables/adapters, that can justify paying near the top of the range. The main buyer check here is age-related service history, because on an old amplifier like this, a quiet, stable unit is worth more than a cheaper one with unknown health.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Stax traces its origins to 1938 in Tokyo, Japan, when Naotake Hayashi founded Showa Kouon Co., Ltd. in Chiyoda-ku. Initially focused on wax disc recording, metal master production, and audio equipment for film soundtracks, the company evolved through the postwar era. In 1950, it launched its first high-frequency condenser microphone, adopted by NHK, and renamed itself STAX Co., Ltd. in 1963, honoring its pioneering Stax-1 mic. A brief suspension in 1995 due to economic pressures gave way to revival, preserving its legacy under family leadership.
The brand specializes in electrostatic headphones, known as "EARSPEAKERS," debuting with the world-first SR-1 in 1960. This innovation spawned enduring lines like the SR series, produced for decades with incremental refinements for superior resolution and staging. Stax complements these with dedicated electrostatic amplifiers and select accessories, eschewing conventional speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables to hone its transducer expertise.
Stax commands a niche high-end position among audiophiles and professionals, revered for unmatched transparency and fidelity that rivals cost-no-object loudspeakers. Its 85-year heritage cements it as a boutique icon in electrostatic technology, far from mass-market fare, appealing to discerning buyers seeking pinnacle sonic transduction.
