100+ Head-Fier
Stax SRM-1/Mk-2 Professional A-B-C versions of amplifier (with both pro bias 580v & normal bias 230v outs).
What differs between versions A-B-C ?
Is any difference audible ?
What years were versions made ?
Are versions common or rare ?
Parts any better in versions ?
Parts available for different versions ?
Any version known for better longevity ?
Were all versions black or silver color ?
Is there a preference for any version ?
Any other details betweeen versions ?
Can it drive Koss ESP950 with enough oomph (with adaptor cable) ?
Will it drive every model Lambda & Airbow well, or falls short matching on some models (for it's price) ?
Any pros or cons ?
Does it differ or is the same as the SRA-14s amplifier section, & is it quieter ?
What does lacking an extra intermediate stage amplifier (vs SRA) result in - pros & cons ?
Can it greatly outperform a Woo Wee/hi-end speaker amp combo generally & listening impressions for sonics ?
Is the frequency bandwidth more linear, balanced and better controlled of extremes in volume-frequencies-voltage swings compared to Woo Wee (amp vs transformer question) ?
Published low frequency down to DC, are there any measurements supporting it's bottom limit (18,16,14,12 Hz, etc) ?
Pros & cons vs SRM-323 or SRM-313, and listening impressions for sonics ?
Any other important points, as I am trying to learn more about this amp ?
Appreciate everyone's input.
