Hi

Taking advantage of some cheap prices, i got a EOS-1n (film) SLR.
It's been fine, but i noticed once the shutter wouldn't fire and i got a "b" error, blinking "b". Google-fu shows some people with the same problem referring to a trivial maintenance issue - shutter lubrication. There's another issue with the LCD display on the top not being illuminated. Pressing the "light" button doesn't illuminate it, nor does it show the 6s timer there.
Anyone knows where in KL one can do CLA and repair for Canon EOS film cameras like the EOS-1N ? Do you know if Canon has a official maintenance shop here for this? Any experiences?
Thanks in advance

Mid/Hifi tube amps for planars, SG or MY?

Hi

I've been browing the forums but couldn't quite find answers to my dilemma, so here goes.
I had a CypherLabs Sustain84 tube amp (ECL84 tubes). Pretty good sound with planar magnetic headphones (Audeze EL8). Ok, the bass was slightly muted, but the vocals were astonishing. To cut down this to the essentials, the amp is dead, CypherLabs unresponsive and there's a PCB entombed in centimeter thick layer of epoxy, making it completely irreparable.

Enter the search for a suitable replacement tube amplifier. Where around Kuala Lumpur/Selangor can we find a good choice of mid-fi/hi-fi tube amplifiers for headphones?
Something like the Analog Design Labs Svetlana 3SE, the Woo Audio WA6 or even WA2, Linear Tube Audio microZOTL MZ2, Feliks Audio Elise, and so on, this kind of equipment.
Any shops around here one might check this, or even order it? Or you usually go to Singapore to get this or audition this kind of equipment? If so, any recommendations?

Since we're at it, any recommendations for tube amplifiers, not stolid state, for use with low impedance (around 32ohm) med/high sensitivity (around 102dB) planar magnetic headphones?
I suppose i would value most a completely silent noise floor, and good vocals. Not sibilant in trebles, and good presence and detail in the bass, though it's to be expected the bass will inevitably suffer.
Thanks in advance for taking your time to post any suggestions you might have.
