Stunning RKV MKII mod experience
So for you and anyone else reading this - Sparkos SS3601 are not plug-and-play with the older version of RKV MKII. I am just getting hum in both channels. I reached out to Sparkos directly to see if he has ideas on retrofitting, but sadly will likely just return the op apms.- ManiacSmile

Stunning RKV MKII mod experience
agree, mine were close to dead, so just getting a new set to start afresh. Need to dig into the subject, just want to ensure there are no meaningful changes in the circuitry between your version and RKV MKII that would prevent me from just swapping the opamps directly. Thanks!- ManiacSmile

Stunning RKV MKII mod experience
Funny enough your comment came right around the time I dusted off my RKV MKII and K1000 from a 5 year hibernation in a closet. Can you please elaborate on the scope of the changes you made, as I am about to shop for replacement tubes on ebay for this thing.- ManiacSmile

who said a NSX cant transform into a F50? (insane!)
It's a sarcastic remark regarding corvettes and goes with NSX performance in the video.- ManiacSmile

For all you "Nahh" sayers - a little something to consider. I wonder wherever Corvette would still be making a pre final lap while all others are at the finish line. NSX vs. Gallardo vs. Mucielago vs. 996TT vs. M3 CSL vs. 360 Modena *video- ManiacSmile

RKV-AKG K1000 questions...
I'll second all that's been said above, but wanted to emphasize the importance of proper placement/fit. I would suggest to extend the pads so that they make only one click and spread the speakers about half inch from the frame of the headband (you should be able to fit a dime in between). Don't...- ManiacSmile

NYC Sony Style Qualia meet PART 2
If there's a spot I'd like to bring HD650 and RKV with Cardas Neutrals. I might be able to bring the 777ES, but that depends on the weather conditions on the meet day 8)- ManiacSmile

NYC meet at Sony Qualia store
Damn, I couldn't make it this time Oh, well, at least some of the ears I trust had a chance to be there. What do you guys think about Qualias scalability, how transparent were they to changes in amp/source combos?
