I was able to procure the last Melos piece I needed for the complete system. The Melos SHA/Gold headphone amp. I personally do not use nor own a decent pair of headphones, but, once locked into a serious audio collection the tendency is to take it as far as you can. Since it will only be eye candy in my setup, it will probably be on loan at the new Vintage HiFi of Pittsburgh for all you headphone guys to enjoy or demo. Its a tube hybrid, pure class A circuitry, supposedly one of the best headphone amps ever made. It should be there for Tom's first event after opening the doors, when that will be, who knows. But, until then here are some pictures.
