Why Choose the Stax SRM-T8000 Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier?

The Stax SRM-T8000 Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier, launched in 2017, is Stax’s top-tier energizer. It pairs perfectly with the Stax SR-X9000 Reference Electrostatic Headphones, creating an unrivaled listening experience.

Featuring a hybrid design, it uses dual 6922 tubes in the input stage and a Class-A solid-state output. AudioKey Reviews in 2021 called it a “transcendental” performer, delivering natural, cathedral-like soundstages.

The tubes are isolated with vibration-proof dampers, ensuring a noise floor below 0.01% distortion at 1 kHz. This lets every detail in your music shine, from delicate highs to deep bass.

With a frequency response of 1 Hz to 115 kHz, it handles the full spectrum effortlessly. Its 60 dB gain ensures even power-hungry electrostatics are driven with authority and precision.

Setting up an electrostatic system can feel daunting, can’t it? The SRM-T8000 simplifies things with versatile inputs—RCA, XLR, and bypass—making integration into your setup a breeze.

Crafted in Japan, it features large toroidal transformers for dynamic sound. Weighing 7.3 kg, its robust chassis minimizes interference, delivering pure, immersive audio.
