Most disconcerting & I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this. I purchased the Mobius (for Senn 650s) last spring & it's a fine cable, as advertised. However, as the static electricity season has been ushered in here in NY, the cable is clipping the hell out of me. Arms, neck...

Anyone using this combo? Having all 3 components at my disposal (the Senn being the 650) I was wondering if there was any point/advantage to using the Impedanzer with the 650s. The Impedanzer worked wonders with the Sony CD3K. But the Senns, already with high impedance, sound quite fabulous to...

I'd like to try one of AT's woody phones. Simply put, what would I be losing by going after the much less & obviously more available 1000s? I gather the 2002s are nicer/better cosmetically. How large are the sonic differences & is this gap worth pursuing/wallet emptying?

Received my K1000s today & immediately snapped 'em on to test noggin compatibility. Initial reaction was, well, not positive. The owner's manual (thick because it includes basically all UN languages) made mention that the temple pads were somehow adjustable but failed to bother with a how-to...

First off, many thanks to Jan for the new RKV vented glass cover which arrived as & when promised. The new top clearly makes a difference, the amp was much cooler with the heat directed out thru the top. What a refreshing pleasure to experience a seller/distributor so commited to customer...

Just connected my MAR updated Melos SHA Gold to a new Bryston 3B ST amp. The result is a good deal of audible hiss - not at all present when using phones. The hiss is constant, does not fluctuate with volume manipulation & appears on all source inputs. Wondering: would a change to "low noise"...

It's back & it's set up. Since I didn't give it any kind of substantial listen prior to shipping it off to MAR for repairs/upgrade I can't really A/B the unit vis-a-vis its pre-upgrade performance. I've only listened to the unit for about 10 hours to this point (with new JJ tubes - so break-in...

Shipped my sickly SHA Gold off to Melos Audio Restoration about three weeks ago & finally heard back from them. I will post my opinion on their work & upgrade when I receive the unit back. This is a SHA Gold Reference that I purchased on Audiogon some months ago. The unit's balance control was...

Schlepped my poor Melos to a local Tech to check out the problem I am having with it. He asked me if I have the schematic for it as he would find it quite helpful. Get the feeling I ought to help this guy out any way I can. Anyone know where I might be able to get my paws on a SHA Gold...

Me thinks it's time to look for a new hobby...or at least get the hell away from headphone listening. Finally set up the Melos SHA Gold Ref I purchased a couple of weeks ago. Listened for awhile thru conventional speakers & then decided to play with the remote. My version has the cool little box...

At the end of December I posted a message regarding the purchase of a new RKV from Divergent Tech. The amp unfortunately was defective, loud steady-state hum & just general crappy sound. I immediately contacted Tash at Divergent requesting a replacement unit. He was somewhat noncommital...

Purchased a SHA Gold yesterday & now need amp recommendations to go with it. Don't need a lot of power, could be tubed or SS. $500-$750 range is where I'm looking. Still do most of my listening thru cans so don't need a superamp. Appreciate the help.

Just bought the 360 - out of curiosity mostly but also to use until I can sort out my RKV probs (nothing new on that front). I haven't received the 360 yet but just realized that the Clou on my 600s doesn't appear to have a mini-jack, as opposed to the original Senn cable (which I no longer...

Yeah, I suppose we've all heard this tale of woe before. My new RKV - the latest version - sounds as if I've got a flourescent bulb wrapped around my head. Loud hum with the volume pot all the way down, and gets progressively louder as the knob turns. The problem lies with neither channel...

Does anyone actually have the MK III version of this amp or even seen one? I've spoken to both the Canadien & US distributors for this product & both were quite vague regarding the II/III. The US guy even went so far as to say there actually was no III version. I'm about to get one of these - I...

Thinking about upgrading from my MG HEAD to the RKV (haven't heard it yet, but just looking at it has always made me salivate). I know it's a heck of a leap $$$-wise. Anyone know if & where an RKV can be had at a reasonable discount? Also, are the unusual tubes in this unit tough and/or...
