Sorry SRM-Xh. Any recommended mods? Actually probably just wait till I receive it and open it up and post some pictures here.

 
Really depends on the version and parts used.  Many of these were built right on the limit so no mods possible. 
 
I would replace the caps though.

Well just won a SRD-Xh amp/energizer for $125 on Audiogon

 
Well, damn, I wish I had known about this.

When I receive it and find out it is not the candidate for spritzers mods I might consider selling it to you for the price I paid for plus shipping since it looks like you are need of an amp.

ohoho $1800 for this then $1k for his 717.
 
Always been confused about the mk1 and mk2. Do both come in silver? I've only seen silver O2's on head-fi... well maybe a black one once, but it's been too long to remember. If I remember correctly, the MKI had 2 models and the MKII had 2 models. 
 
And then there's.... http://www.head-fi.org/t/659881/liquid-lightning-mkii-audition-program

I got the 009 bug recently... 

 I knew I shouldn't have tried it 

 
Didn't want to let go of them but in order tobe able to afford the 009 I'll need to let these wonderful headphones go.... I'm even trying to think of a way to budget so that I'd be able to keep these, so we'll see what happens...
 
As for the models I believe the MK1's came in 1) Champaign (not pure silver colour, which you may have mistaken) with brown pads or 2) All black version and MKII's in 1) All Black version and 2) Silver version with Black pads.

MK1's are silver, champagne sort of colour, MK2's are black. MK1's are superior to to the other two versions of the MK2's. Spritzer can confirm further.

Mk1's are favored by most (not everybody) over the Mk2's.
Both are relatively dark, (a characteristic that improves with better amplifiers), but paradoxically very clear and extremely enjoyable.
The Mk1's have a more linear frequency response' the Mk2's have a mild bump in the midbass that many don't like.
The Mk2's cord connection with the earspeaker is better and less prone to damage, although the Mk1's are durable as long as you are careful not pulling on the cords.
I sold my Mk1's which I really liked, in order to buy the 009's, which I really, really like
If you can find an Mk1 in excellent shape from a reputable member, 1800.00 is a very good price.

Hey congrats! You'll love them. As amazing as the HD800s are, these babies will fill that void and then some!

If that set of circumstances occurs, I would definitely appreciate it if you threw me that bone.

Thanks guys  
Best of luck with your sale k_19, it'll probably be gone pretty soon. If you don't want them sold, best of lucky with finding a way to keep them and get the 009's 

 

[struggles]

With the descriptions of the 007 versions mentioned, I do not see much talk about which dust cloth is being used with them? A member here posted about this which led me to take a look at mine, there is quite a difference when comparing the two. I am currently using the thinner cloth with the mk2 pad, anyone else feel this should be noted?

The SR-007BL, which is the black version of the Mk1, is not entirely black: it has the metal parts in champaign color and only the leather parts in black (headband, pads) and a black cable.

First impression of Malvalve Head amp three is that the unit has excellent craftmanship
