SRD-X Pro uses a chip-amp feeding step-up transformers that output HV to the earspeakers.
Stax Basic amp uses discreet power transistors that output HV to the earspeakers.
"Random energizer" connects to a dynamic amplifier that feeds
the primary LV (input) side of the energizer's step-up transformers that output HV to the earspeakers.
That being said, IMO anything that uses transformers as the output to the earspeakers is inferior in sound quality.
What exactly is the difference between the Stax SRD-X Professional, any Stax basic amp, and any random energizer, in terms of how they amplify?
