When Mr. Oleg Grounine who purchased the MS-10D MKII disassembled the product, an empty box was installed on the amplifier so that it looked like a real amplifier. The box should have contained three transformers, one for the power supply and one for the channel that connects the speaker to the vacuum tube, but only one was included.



When Mr. Grounine confirmed using an oscilloscope etc., it was confirmed that the signal did not change even through the amplifier and was transmitted to the vacuum tube, but it is a complete mystery what kind of route to follow. Grounine reports that the circuits on the product are also difficult to see and very difficult to reproduce.



The product page of MS-10D MKII also exists on Amazon.co.jp, but it is 'out of stock' at the time of article creation.
