    Most of the Stax amps post 1982 are fully balanced, DC coupled designs.  That means the - side of the amp is grounded (through a...

    If you want two inputs then extra circuitry is always needed.  You need either relays or a switch to ground the - part of the amp for SE...

    Yes there are. All the 'larger' Stax amps made after the models you mentioned have them. These include SRM 006/007t(II), 717, 727, 600...
