encouraging words, dave!
well, i can get my hands on a pair of the rm mk1 version (they are so difficult to get here in norway, and i can't afford a brand new pair of virtuoso. buying used from the america? forget it! they're very seldom for sale..

).
quess yours are the mk2, you lucky man. i'm planning to change the capasitors (what's the value of it, anyway, and which ones are to be recommended?).
i've slight concern regarding my tiny ear-yoshino v20 (cdp is sonic frintiers sfcd-1). what do you think?
while admiring the mmdci i still find them a little bit on the bright side, so i'll swap them for the rm mk1 (at no extra cost). so, yes, these are exciting times. let's hope i haven't shot myself in the fot this time!
regards.
