Anyone send their IV in for a service going over at Mesa, what did it change (besides fixing some obviously broken function)? Is the packing a hassle (any tips on that)?
I always pined for a mark IV and picked one up a couple of years ago. The amp is the only Mark IV I've personally had experience with and it just feels like something is wrong with it. Also gets a little smell when it gets warm, like components cooking, though no smoke..Wondering if it is time for a servicing of it.
More so coming to the conclusion because I've been expecting to be blown away by the mighty IV and haven't been. Gave myself time to learn the ins and outs of the amp, but it hasn't changed. My V sounds better and my III blows it out of the water, and it just seems like the IV should be the king between the three of them. I'd pick up another IV but they don't come around too often and also I transplanted this one from a slightly beat up combo into a new head shell. Also had picked up a complete new set of tubes from doug's...
I guess I'm just looking to
