Angeboten wird „SRM-500T“ von STAX als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Kopfhörerverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9391811686 endet am 24.06.2026 um 20:00 Uhr.
The Stax SRM-1 stands as a classic solid-state energizer from the early electrostatic era, prized for its clean, detailed drive of Stax 'phones without the tube warmth of later models. At EUR 1,500 for a used unit in "new" condition, this listing feels ambitious—recent comparable sales cluster around a median of EUR 1,390, with the 25th percentile at EUR 1,290 and 75th at EUR 1,444. You'd want some haggling room or proof of pristine upkeep to justify stretching past that range.
Before biting, verify the output transistors haven't drifted (a common failure after decades) by insisting on bias voltage checks and a listening demo. Confirm it includes the original power cable, wall wart, and any Stax plug adapters, as missing bits can sour the deal fast.
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.
