Well here comes the shock:
My MK3 with the mod and 13.5V power supply outperforms the MK6 with the same mod.
The MK6 doesn't respond to the 13.5V power supply in the same way that the mK3 does.
The MK6 sounds better than the MK3 with the standard 12V adapter.
MK3 with 13.5V and no mod is about evens with the unmodded MK6.

I have a Mark IV. I can get a 13.8V linear PS for $60CAD. Would you say the upgrade is worth the money or not?

$60? no way. Spend the $$ on the mod instead. Much more cost effective it would seem.

The parts for the mod cost pennies. With my limited desoldering/soldering skills replacing them will be the tricky part.

Send it to Stanley or see if a headfier will do it for you. Same price or close I would think.

How the heck is the MK3 better than the MK6? Try and explain that a bit more please.

WOOHOO! Friday night bump! No more impressions or follow up, guys?

Stanley says his cost to do the mod for you is $40USD and you pay shipping both ways.

[spacemanspliff]

sent mine off to fierce for modding. should be awhile yet.

[Ichinichi]

could *i* do that?

[spacemanspliff]

never hurts to ask right?

Let me go ahead and take care of spliff's to see what it changes. If the impressions are good and you'd like, I can probably take care of yours, too. Just ask
