After owning a esp95x I want to try some other electrostatic headphones. Will the Japanese version of the srl300 and srm 252s work in the US if I buy the right power adapter or converter? I don’t want to buy it and end up breaking it.

With what you have, you can use this adapter, just properly read the instructions:

What about warranty and service and resale? It is probably much smarter in the long run to buy the Americanized version.

Will they not service Japanese's models in USA?

AFAIK the 500W one will power KGSSHV Carbon amps, so the 500W is fine.

I don't know about STAX specifically, but in general, companies refuse to service out-of-region products. You could ask in the STAX threads.

Using that transformer is fine.

Even this person used the same exact transformer that I linked and they said that the "Stax system works wonders":

I am probably going to get a ifi 12v and plug it that way.
