The Headcase Stax thread

[spritzer]

Since I just got these, might be time to talk about possibly the rarest stuff Stax ever made.    Let me introduce the SRM-Monitor Mk2 and the SR-Lambda Pro New:

I've only seen a couple of these for sale over the years so very rare indeed.  The headphones are basically the modern version of the Lambda Pro's but not the Spirit/Pro Classic, made later than that.  

The SRM-Monitor has been called the Mk2 but the changes are mostly to the chassis.  Inside there is still a SRM-1 Mk2 and the ED-1 but with different parts.  They are all Pro bias only and notice the extra output on the back.  The volume knob is also similar to the SRM-T1S/W knob and not the SRM-1 Mk2 unit found of the original Monitors.  

I have no idea when these were made but I've heard late 90's and for special customers which wanted to replace their older Lambda Pro sets and SRM-Monitors.  With these here the Lambda collection is almost complete...
