Hello Georg, Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of my particular units, but I can guarantee that the description of my units is accurate. If you want to check my honesty, please go to the Audiogon website and look me up under my member name, htless. Here is the link to that website: AudiogoN high-end Audio for sale, high end HiFi classifieds, audiophile auctions, audio forums . I am going to be asking $600 USD for this unit and slightly more for the other one. The unit you are interested in has no actual scratches, just some superficial marks here and there, but they do not actually take away from the beauty of this unit. Also, I would be shipping this unit in its' orginal box and packing. I would consider shipping to Germany, but I would have to check out what the costs would be and then let you know how much additionally that would cost you. If you are interested, let me know and I will look into that. Stephen

Hello again. If anyone is interested, I am going to be selling my two model SRA-14S preamp/earspeaker amplifiers in the next week or two. One of them is a solid 9 out of 10 and the other would easily be a 7.5 or 8, because of a few VERY minor marks, but nothing major. I will also be selling one new/unused Stax model EMM-1 moving magnet phono card, 2 pair of Stax SR-404 earpeakers (1 new pair, 1 pair used, but a solid 9.5), and two Stax SRE-725 extension cables ( agian, 1 new and 1 used, but a solid 9.5). I thought I would make you folks aware of these being for sale, before I place them on Audiogon. Please let me know if anyone is interested. BTW, I will pay for FedEx Ground shipping and insurance for any of the lower 48 states and I will cover the PayPal fees, if that's how you would like to pay for your purchases.

Are those internal pictures of the SRA-14S and the power supply on that site not detailed enough for you to find what you're looking for? They appear to be more detailed than anything I've ever seen, with regards to the model & PS. If not, I'll have my son attempt to get more close-up pictures when he comes home.

My pleasure!! I hope it helped a little bit. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the inside of my units. My son, who lives in California, took the great pictures of the PS-3 for me early last year. He'll be back here in a couple of months and I'll ask him to take some pictures then. However, I did find this cool web link to a page in Japan that has quite a number of pictures of the inside of the SRA-14S and the power supply. Maybe these will help you somewhat.

Hello. I'm new to this forum, but I wanted to comment on your posts regarding the Stax SRA-14S. I happen to be the proud owner of 2 of these very cool units. I purchased them as NOS a few of years ago from a dealer friend of mine on the West Coast. I too found a problem getting a hold of a service manual for this model. However, I did previously communicate with the STAX US distributor, Yama's Enterprises, and they indicated that they could indeed repair this model, if necessary, but would not or could not supply me with a service manual. As you're probably aware, this model was made during a tough financial period for Stax. Very few were made, which of course accounts for their rarity. I'm using one of mine with the Stax model SR-404 ear speakers and I love the combination. As you know, there were 3 phono cartridge modules that were made to be used in this unit. One was for MM cartridges and one was for MC cartridges. The third one was made to be used with their own model CP-Y cartridge. Needless to say, when plugged into one of the 2 slots on the rear of the SRA-14S, the idea is to utilize its power supply. You make mention of an outboard power supply. I did not realize that the SRA-14S would actually work without the outboard power supply. Yours is the only one I
