This maybe or soon will be the ultimate in every way Melos SHA-1. Right we are driving Amprex "Bugle Boy" tubes, still waiting for those Amprex Goldies to arrive. ANd sporting the latest Lextek Woody package. Bolivian Rosewood, just beautiful wood! My wife (graphic designer) is working on the Melos logo. Check it out..

Very cool lex, I dig the MOH. Wanna build me one of those faceplates for the META42?

Did you get the upgrade package from Melos Audio Restoration?

MAR kind of scares me. The uppgrades may help the preamp section, but I don't think they help the headphone section. Why mess with it?

 

[Nick Dangerous]

Will sent me an email stating that the upgrade improves the headphone section as well. Markl has also confirmed the benefits of the upgrade.

What is the cost of this "upgrade"? I have heard mixed reviews of MAR. And it sounds pretty awesome now.

WOW! That looks really cool! You should sell 'em. I'll take a Melos SHA Gold please...

 

[dngl]

Wow! I want one...

heheh, don't tell us it sounds better because it has a wooden shell.

The upgrade is $399:

Markl, care to comment on the sonic benefits?

I do believe it has a richer, fuller sound. Or maybe it's the Siemen Goldies.

From MAR website:
" placed on a carpeted workbench"

That's nice.
"carefully listened to for no less then 8 hours"

Somebody actually listens to these for 8 hours?

The "Ultimate Melos"? I believe that would be mine!

Melos Gold with photentiometer upgraded to Maestro status (better power supply beffier better components), Siemens Gold Pins from the early '60's and my Virtual Dynamics Power 3 power cord!

Now that's a spicy Melos!
