The seller of that $1000 MR RM200 also,declined my full price offer. Not sure what his intentions are? It is not an auction. Oh well. 
Is it too bright or is it high resolution?
Soix, funny stuff! I may find my wife's voice bright even though I have age appropriate male hearing loss in the upper most frequencies.  
No bias reading, tubes lit up, no sound
Thanks for the update. I have come close to ruining parts as my drill entered the chassis. I get it!

Figured something was up.... 
Is it too bright or is it high resolution?
Brightness can also be caused by tipped up upper mids which does give the impression of more detail. I hear this tendency in some systems, speakers, silver wire etc... The same detail is there, but it is tipped up a tad and a tad more noticeable t...

My Cary amp has 2-560uf caps that I replaced with Clarity TC caps. I had to add a 3 inch wooden expansion chassis to fit them. These 1200 uf caps could be replaced with Clarity TC caps as they can be ordered up to 600 and above uf. Problem is they...

You can do this simple mod with a little help. Very easy. Good luck! While you are it it replace those electrolytic power supply caps with film! Bigger improvement in sound.
