Good idea, it has been done before with a SHA-Gold, with rosewood.

Got pics, by chance? Can't seem to find anything on it, and it would make a good reference.

It looks quite nice but I do prefer the stock one.

If you want to file a USPS insurance claim, I don't believe you get the product back. I filed a claim for a Marantz integrated amplifier and tuner set ((For the guy who sold the amplifier to me) that USPS damaged in shipping and never saw it again. I'm not sure whether they finally sent it back to him but I know he originally contacted me that he had not received a check nor the original product back from USPS. It worked out for me because even though the box looked like it was hit by a freight train, the seller I bought it from didn't pack it even close to properly so Paypal refunded my money in full however, if you're expecting to get a check and your Melos be prepared for a big surprise (And quite a bit of attitude from the USPS clerk

)!

Putty is a diy tweak for mass damping. One of the previous owners did it. This is a tweak probably most commonly found used by owners of cheap subwoofers with stamped frame drivers, but it's also been done to prevent microphonics in electronics, next most commonly in cheap cd/dvd players. Some of you may remember the toshiba sd-3950 craze a couple years ago.

But the pics are of a SHA-1.

Oh believe me, I won't leave that place without bringing my amp with me. I can't buy a replacement. It still works, and I want to to keep it. If that means only a partial refund, so be it, I won't surrender the amp.
