The August 1992 STAX catalog covers the full lineup from this unusual Japanese company that made only electrostatic products - and did it better than almost anyone else. Twelve pages, something remarkable on nearly every one.
The core is their “earspeakers” - electrostatic headphones in STAX terminology: SR-Sigma, SR-Lambda, SR-alpha, and SR-80MX. Paired with a complete range of driver units from the transformer-based SRD-6SB adaptor up through the tube SRM-T1 and the flagship SRA-14S preamplifier/driver at 198,000 yen. The DAC-X1t with 18-bit 8x oversampling costs as much as the NON-NFB DMA-X2 power amplifier - 850,000 yen each. The electrostatic loudspeakers ELS-F81X and ELS-F83X are made-to-order floor-standers with no magnets or voice coils. Also included: the UA tonearm series and the EK-1/MK-2 kit for building your own electrostatic speakers.
