Overview

The T2 Mini is a modern engineered, compact interpretation of the legendary STAX SRM-T2.
It preserves the core circuit topology and sonic philosophy of the original T2, while significantly improving practicality, manufacturability, and long-term serviceability.

While the original T2 relies on a large number of obsolete and discontinued components, the T2 Mini replaces these parts with modern, readily available equivalents, ensuring that the design can be reliably built, serviced, and supported today.

By extensively adopting SMD components, the T2 Mini achieves a dramatically reduced PCB footprint, allowing the amplifier to be housed in a much more compact chassis without compromising performance or stability.

Like the original T2, the T2 Mini employs a Deep global feedback loop with a tube-dominant signal path.
The amplifier uses a total of eight vacuum tubes:

  • 4 × 6DJ8 / ECC88
  • 4 × EL34 / 6CA7

To ensure consistent performance, the T2 Mini incorporates high-precision balance and offset servo circuits with a wide adjustment range.
These servos actively maintain optimal operating points, ensuring that tube replacement or tube rolling does not disturb balance or offset values, greatly simplifying ownership and long-term maintenance.
