I've read page after page about the SHA-gold the thought was the light controlled volume was the best. But there have been many issues that have come up with many of the units. When Melos went under and MAR (melos audio restoration) opened up (started by one of the melos guys) all the work they did lead them to replacing the volume control with stepped units. The places were spec diagrams were kept on the net have dried up as ha MAR. I'm not planning on doing any work until I know I can get it right. I have had some issues with the pho-tometer here and there, if there's away to swap that out I;d like to do it, other mods will happen down the road when time and cash flow allow me to figure it all out and do it.
