Stax SRD-7 Energizer / PWB Electrostatic Headphones

Regular price £150.00

Serial Number: 5172

Packaging & Accessories: Original Packaging (No Packaging For Headphones), Manual

This listing comprises a vintage Stax SRD-7 speaker-level energiser/adaptor paired with PWB (Peter Walker Brown) electrostatic headphones — a rare collector's combination. Supplied in original packaging (no packaging for the headphones), with manual. Please note: there is a little bit of wear on the headphones. The SRD-7 draws power from a speaker amplifier's output terminals, converting speaker-level signal to the high voltage required to drive electrostatic headphones. Headfonia noted the SRD-7 'runs great out of any vintage stereo receiver' and praised the transparency and resolution that Stax electrostatics deliver. The SRD-7 was produced from the early 1970s through to the mid-1990s and remains a popular affordable gateway into Stax electrostatic listening.

As always, our usual warranty applies to give you peace of mind.

Reviews

Headfonia on Stax/SRD-7: "The Stax SRD-7 energizer takes the current from a speaker amplifier and converts it to the high voltage required for driving Stax electrostatic headphones. It remains a popular choice among Stax users as a cheaper alternative to a standard electrostatic amplifier."

CheapTubeAudio: "I personally have not heard better than Stax, and shall remain an ardent fan. The SRD-7 remains a popular and cost-effective way to enter the extraordinary world of Stax electrostatic listening."
