Did you find the 6 pin extension you needed for your low bias Stax?
older Stax headphones
I have a Stax SRD-6 amp and SR-5 headphones. These are from the early 1980's. They take a six pin "low bias" cable. I haven't been able to locate a headphone extension cable that has the six pin configuration, all the current Stax cables are five pin. Any ideas or suggestions? It would make listening so much easier if I could fine a two meter extension.

I have an extra original Stax headphone extension cord for the six pin standard bias headphones, it is about 12-15 feet long. Contact me, [email protected] |
The STAX extension cables for normal bias headphones only came in long lengths (like 15 ft). They never made a two meter length that I know of. I suggest you use longer speaker cables to the adapter, to move the adapter closer. I have the STAX SR-X MKIII headphones, SRD-7 step up transformer, and long extension cable (custom ordered form Japan) in my collection. The Stax extension cables are next to impossible to find. |
I'm not an engineer but I have been using Stax headphones since the 80's, so I'll try to answer your question. There are two types of Stax phones, Pro and Normal. I believe it has to do with the bias. The Normal phones use a 6-pin jack, and the Pro uses a 5-pin one. Many of the Stax headphone amps feature both outputs. I'm sure there must be a 6-pin extension cable out there somewhere. Maybe this post will help you find it. Otherwise, you may have to resort to a WTB (Wanted To Buy) ad. Also, you can try other websites or forums and ask the same question. Best of luck! |
