* 17/04/24 * * Re-opened as i finally solved my 2FA log in woes *

Am selling this STAX SRM-007t (original, "champagne" version) as seen in the pictures, aka what you see is what you get.
This is the version most preferred by those who know, as it's superior to all its successors due to a number of its parts being of higher quality than those of later models. The difference is accoustically noticeable.

Age taken into consideration, all components that are susceptible to wear/time have been replaced and with higher quality parts:
- All four tubes replaced with 'NOS' Matsushita, same type, from my personal stock; no ebay or fake imprinting, acquired new by me personally back in the day; yes, am that old. You may notice they've a Luxman logo which may appear confusing, it's not. Matsushita corp was OEM for all Luxman tubes. If you thought GEs or Mullards are good, wait until you've heard these.
Unit has of course been re-biased properly, with the brand new tubes, by me.
- All eleven capacitors replaced with brand new Nichicon audio grade caps, verifiable from internal pics. Audiophile grade Oyaide silver solder (SS-47) used.
- As a bonus, the IEC inlet has been upgraded to an original gold-plated Furutech, also verifiable from external pics; same Oyaide solder used as above.

Everything else's stock, including the pot which many replace prior to selling; not me. You can alter volume between L/R as intended.
The unit has no technical issues, functions exactly as should. A note here that i'm a professional, not a 'hobbyist'; can attest to both functionality and quality of the overall work thereof.

*Kindly take note of the four scratch marks covered with magic marker on the upper lid. Price is set so as to reflect said minor cosmetic defect*

Am asking for 1100€ total, firm, no negotiating. Paypal only.
Total as in:
- Paypal fees are included as per Head-Fi regs and on me, not you.
- Shipping is included and also on me, not you. Shipping consisting of national post service (ΕΛΤΑ) priority mail with tracking. Needless to say, sufficient packing care has been taken.

Shipping worldwide from Greece (EU), two days after payment's received, at most. I plan for the next day, but you never know with family and responsibilities thereof, so erring on caution.
You'll know either way, as i'll email you to inform you the money's in and when it's due to ship, i'll email you again after it's shipped with your tracking number attached.

Interested in purchasing? Read this first please.
Technically speaking, this unit performs in 100% the way the manufacturer intended it to. Am a qualified technician and i have (re)checked this, with the relevant technical equipment, prior to making this listing.
As such, the 'eBay phenomenon', aka refund requests purporting "malfunction", in actuality a smokescreen for a 'try and return' tactic, will not be grounds for a refund. You agree to this beforehand.
I am not renting, i am selling; refund requests claiming "misdirection", aka amounting to 'opinion' or 'preference' from the buyer's side will be considered not valid, no matter how phrased. You agree to this beforehand.
Kindly consider before committing, no one's forcing your hand. Least of all me.

Please see post right below this one for one more pic, have reached the limit on this one.
Any questions, by all means PM me.

For the 110V countries: I do'nt do voltage modifications as it's morally condemnable, for reasons pertaining exclusively to STAX; see 'gray market'.

I cannot reply to any technical questions regarding this, i cannot virtually or otherwise provide support or assistance should you decide to attempt it.
This is your risk and responsibility 100%.
Am selling the amp as is (230V).

If you're wondering about lack of CCS, aka why am i selling this amp stock:

I do not recommend CCS as a mod.
CCS helps on lesser amps, such as say the T1, as it allows them to drive a certain one headphone and just that one headphone a touch better. Mind you, a touch better, not well.
But it also has its negative consequences:
- Compared to a stock same unit, the highs can be perceived as slightly more glaring, sterile or artificial, case depending.
- The sound signature changes. The amp's renowned mellowness and underlying richness go out the window.

Would be a shame to suffer these on this amp, for close to no reason whatsoever.
If a 007t, of this quality, isn't enough for you? A CCS won't change that.
It's one thing to design an amp with CCS in mind from the getgo, as in the T2. It's quite another adding it to one that was not designed for having it in the first place.
