I'm considering purchasing a Stax 4040 system. I will be using it with an Allen Wright modified Sony player that puts out less than 1 volt. The standard output of most CD players is about 2 volts. Will I have a problem getting reasonable output levels with the 006t driver?

My CD player has selectable output voltage. At the baltimore/DC meet last weekend I initially had it set at 0.5V and the volume had to be turned way up on the SRM-007t. At 1.0V it was very reasonable.

As long as the player has more than 0.5V at the outputs I think you should be OK.

Thanks for your reply. I understand that the 007t puts out a higher voltage than the 006t. Do you or anyone else know if the difference is significant?

Actually, they both put out the same exact voltages for biasing, 580v, but the difference in output voltage is quite small 300v for the SRM-006t, and 340v for the SRM-007t. Those extra 40v will make a small difference in volume, but not a whole lot.
