Manners?

Sorry, I do not understand, as I write via google translayte. Need more information?

You can't, just like you really can't with a regular headphone with no way to drive it. You need to plug it in to tell if something is wrong. Any more advanced method of troubleshooting like checking the continuity of the cable wires requires almost complete disassembly of the headphone.

I checked five-core cable from the clips on the inside of the headphone to the connecting plugs, and contacts, circuits no. Is it possible in this case to say that the headphones are functioning properly?

 

[Tinkerer]

No. The diaphragms could be damaged or a number of other things. It's probably fine considering how new it is, but the only way to know for sure is to plug it into an amp and listen.

I bought SRS-3100 system. After two inclusions stopped working. Polarity is not confused. I need to understand that the return (only SRM-252S or all together). That's why I wanted to make sure SR-L300 OK and leave them.

If you bought it as a system and it's not working. I would suggest returning the whole thing for a new full system. Leave the diagnosis up to the seller.

There's an internal pic on their website if you scroll down a bit here: http://www.msbtechnology.com/amplifiers/headphone-amp-features/
Looks like a pair of Lundahl transformers right after the inputs. If they were silver wire Lundahls they'd be pretty expensive (like 2K), but there's no indication that they are. The custom chassis looks like the highest-cost part in the amp. But hey -- SILVER/BLACK/GOLD -- your CHOICE, for only thirty-something K's!

size wise maybe a LL7901 , input silver tx are <750€ , standard about <140€.
Mine LL1544A 85€

I kind of wish there would be "electrostatic cmoy" kind of option for New Stax users. Something basic for driving SR202-SR404 etc. I bet more people would have Stax if they wouldn't have to buy a bulky, expensive amplifier to go with them.

good point, what is your budget?

 

[supil34]

I would be grateful for any information. What do the red LED inside the SRM-252S? And what happens if they do not light up when the system is turned on? (Green LED lights).

 

[supil34]

And while there is no sound in the headphones. This failure? The problem with headphones or amplifier? The difficult situation and it would be great if someone tell me what happened.

if they don't light up, the switcher has likely died. or the power brick is in major trouble.
check the internal fuse if it has one.
