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.

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.

     Thank you both. Looks like I'll have to take Don's advice and add longer speaker wire to the amp. Dennis.

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, Josephjfg@aol.com

Did you find the 6 pin extension you needed for your low bias Stax?
