Details High end vacuum tube driver unit The newly designed SRM-700T is a hybrid electrostatic headphone driver. Inspired by the flagship model SRM-T8000, the 700T uses solid-state FET as a driver stage and vacuum tube as the output stage. Hybrid Masterpiece Experience the best of both worlds with the unique hybrid design. The SRM-700T seamlessly blends a custom-made low-noise dual FET input stage with a warm, musical 6SN7 vacuum tube output stage. This synergy delivers exceptional clarity, detail, and a captivatingly spacious soundstage. Inspired by Greatness Drawing from the heritage of the flagship SRM-T8000, the SRM-700T incorporates high-quality non-inductive winding resistors and strictly selected pair-matched special FETs. These meticulous engineering choices ensure uncompromised audio performance and unwavering reliability. Unleashing the Potential Drive even the most demanding Stax earspeakers with ease. The SRM-700T boasts a powerful high-voltage power supply, delivering impeccable control and dynamic range for a truly immersive listening experience. 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.
