    Default Mission Cyrus 2 Signature edition info request

    Does anyone have information on this limited edition Cyrus 2?
    I have been trying to Google without much of a result.

    Bought from Ebay.
    The seller claims only 100 units were made.
    Looking at his pictures and comparing to normal Cyrus 2 I see that
    1. Signature has more colorful good looking components
    2. Volume pot is blue.
    3. All RCA contacts are gold plated

    Here is my Cyrus Two Signature edition:

    Bought on German Ebay as parts/non-working.
    It had bad previous transport damage.
    In the end it only needed a new mains switch. Cyrus Two has a standard 22mm * 19mm size mains switch so it was easy to replace from RadioSpares.

    The Signature edition is based on PCB issue 07.
    It is painted with what looks like automotive metallic black.



    1. Gold plated input RCA connectors
    2. No flat patch cable from inputs. Inputs routed with invividual cables under the circuit board
    3. No balance pot, better Alps pot on volume
    4. Extra capacitors on phono pre-amp under circuit board
    5. Mains caps two Elna 10.000 mf



    This amp sounds good enough. I now understand why Cyrus One and Two were highly regarded back in the 80s.
    I still have found no additional information on Signature edition (or what ever it was called).
