Anyone know anything about these amps? Are they obtainable?
Wicked cool form factor & looks. And meters!!
WE WANT!!! I wonder when this was ... late 70s early 80s???
1974
And that amount will get you a fair amplifier today. Prices today go a good bit higher. A new Stax amp today might be well above that paltry 17kI just did the math. $3600 in Jan '75 is $17,094.55 now. Whoa.

They show up, but only occasionally. Watch for heat issues, seized fans compounding the heat issues. Expect to recap and replace power resistors and small transistors just from age at this point.
Otherwise, see my avatar. I really like their components, and feel they were a step ahead and a cut above everyone else. It's worth finding one.
That ad pic is from 1976.
PM sent. We aren’t quite there yet.DA300 is one of the best amp that STAX design in the 70' s ! (1974 for the first here in France
if you want to buy one , you can, BUT , you have to double check inside and be sure that nobody touched it !
it is really reliable amp and dont need any recap (except on the both driver boards) !
Personnally , I did refix 3 of them
