Thanks from me, as well! I'd appreciate any more info you can add. What did he do? How does it change the sound?

Okay,, Benny repaired/upgraded my VTL's,,, But he can also perform the Melos mods,, pretty much what you want,,but having been there before,, I would suggest on Cap replacement,coupling and power supply,, such upgrades take the SHA 1 up a few notches,,specifically in/with the headphone circuit. I suggest that if anyone is interested,give him a call,,he's very friendly, helpful,,and most of all,, he does Quality work,,and get this,, reasonable rates,that you and I can afford,, here's a link,, highly recommended,, and no affilation on my side.

Hope you all can help me on this bit...

Bought this amp long time ago, found out the amp has got lots of hiss sounds, even when turn the volume off/switch to the other channel and I can hear the sound from the source...

Change all the caps to a better ones with dect step volume but doesn't help.

After a quick check then the tech told me it is a relays problem...

But now nightmare begins... by the time I take my unit back and switch it on,signal light is off and only the tubes are on, hook it up and find out there is only the hiss sound with the sound from the source(small hiss) from the monitors...Try all channels and headphone out & it doesn't got any good sign...

Could you all brothers help me with a schematic or any mods picture available?

Cheers!!
George Po

Not a Melos owner or any experience with them. This is the only schematic I know of, and is for an SHA-Gold:
