My SRM-007t have 2 Pro and 1 Normal bias outputs.
Bought new last summer. But had been stored a while, since this version went out of production in 2004.

First, be sure to check out Akwok's gorgeous photos of his gorgeous Stax Mo' 'Mega I (translation: Omega I) cans in this thread.

Then, next time you're chatting up your local friendly librarian, ask if they have or can interloan the book Retro-Electro by Pepe Tozzo. Chock full of high-res photos of your favorite forgotten tech toys of the '70s and '80s, including the 1974 Philips VCR, the Sinclair Microvision, the original McIntosh, and on page 76, the mighty Stax SR-X, which the book claims was introduced in 1970. Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen an original SR-X?

I've never listened to one but I've seen a number for sale over the years. Same goes for the Mk2's. They were released in 1970 and the Mk2 in 1972 and the Mk3 in 1976. Thats a really rapid development time for such a small company so the customers must have been complaining or something worse.

If you do want to purchase an Omega II or 007t, do so from PriceJapan. The Omega II is currently around $1400-$1450 USD shipped (new), which is the absolute lowest I've ever seen them. And the 007tII is $1277 shipped, but you can get it for cheaper (or even an alternative amp) from FS/FT.

Congrats on that sick lamp Doug! It'll be well worth the 2 week wait!
