Premium vacuum tube driver unit

The SRM-T8000 is Stax's latest flagship electrostatic headphone amplifier utilising hybrid technology. It employs two 6922 in the input stage, driving a Class-A solid-state output stage. The vacuum tubes are isolated in a separate section made of a vibration-proof damper and shield cover to eliminate vibration and noise. The high-capacity large toroidal transformers and selected high-quality parts allow the highest refinement in sound.

The SRM-T8000 is the best energiser Stax has ever made

HiFi+

STAX produce exclusively electrostatic headphones, or “earspeakers” since 1938. STAX chose the electrostatic technology for its ability to produce transparent sound, and low weight for comfort/ergonomics, both due to the driver design not employing fixed magnets and moving coils, as opposed to other common headphone driver designs. The minimal weight of the driver ensures a very quick response to the signal, creating a more faithful sound reproduction.

Who is this for?

The Stax SRM-T8000 is Stax's latest flagship electrostatic headphone amplifier, utilising hybrid technology and representing the premium vacuum tube driver unit in the current range. It suits listeners with a reference-level system who want the very best driver unit Stax currently offers.

It's well suited to pairing with Stax's flagship earspeakers, such as the SR-X9000 MkII or SR-009S, ensuring the amplification is never the limiting factor in a top-tier electrostatic system.

It's the natural choice for electrostatic enthusiasts at the top of the hobby, for whom the driver unit is as important a component as the earspeaker it powers.

The SRM-T8000 is the best energiser Stax has ever made, and if resolution and imaging are your audio ‘triggers’, then this is also the best energiser you can get for a Stax. Especially if you have one of the better Stax earspeaker systems, like the SR-009.
