Soon I won't have to worry if my amp is up to snuff.

The SR-007A and MK2 can be bought with both the SRM-727 or SRM-007t, in their corresponding A or MK2 model. I have heard neither of them. But are very pleased with my SRM-007t as a pair for the SR-007BL. |

That goes for both the SR-007 and the amplifiers. They are all interchangeable, except for the fact that the "A" amplifiers accept 100 volt main power input only. While the "MK2" amplifiers accept the native voltage in the country its sold in, be it 110 volt or 230 volt. There were also two different colored amplifiers in the past. All black SRM-007t (like I have) for the SR-007BL and the regular champagne front/black chassis one for the SR-007. |

Enjoy the SRX-001 Mk3 normal bias coming your way. |

This is a classic "collectors" phone in that it is not that great for overall listening due to the lack of deep bass. As such it often sounds somewhat thin. However it has a remarkable ability to pull out detail, even better than any pro model I have heard, and I guess that's why these were used as monitor phones. Now and again I just want to hear what it can do on certain material. I wonder if I can turn the old SRXIII into a pro model someday? The preferred mode appears to be to get the drivers from an old gamma pro. |
