Angeboten wird „SRM 500T Kopfhörerverstärker“ von STAX als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Kopfhörerverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6670166356 endet am 29.06.2026 um 19:25 Uhr.
Stax’s SRM-1 sits in that classic electrostatic sweet spot: a serious vintage energizer that’s still respected for transparency and drive. At €1,390, this is just below the €1,411 median of your recent comparables and comfortably inside the normal €1,213–€1,520 middle band, so it reads as fair value, not a steal but not stretched either.
The appeal here is straightforward: if the unit is healthy, you’re buying into a well-regarded piece of Stax history with the kind of speed and clarity that makes vintage stats gear rewarding. A clean example is especially attractive if it’s been kept tidy and complete, because these older units can be less common in genuinely cared-for condition. At this price, I’d mainly want confirmation that it powers up properly and hasn’t picked up channel imbalance, hum, or connector issues.
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.
