My Wadia and MFA amp sounds way better than stock,I think the only way to truly hear what a unit can do is to eliminate the safety issues (iec current limiting devices).With better i/c's and power cords one can hear how a component truly sounds,Steve at Great Nothern Sound Co. is a master tuner and has intimite knowledge of the unist he modds.He takes his time and actually listens to his work so that one doesn't get a quicky mod that doesn't feel or sound right.A good modd allows one to get better value before you get the upgrade bug,my MFA has had 16 year life and still has some original power tubes in it.After Steve's mod to the amp,I am still impressed with how it throws a huge soundstage with incredibles 3-d images and viceral dynamics.This amp competes very well in every catagory and I need to spend a small fortune to readily beat it.A mod is only as good as the modder,as Lkdog said " You need to do your homework " on what a modder has acomplished in the Agone community.Take care Dennis
Anybody have a problem buying modded units.
I was looking at a modded unit here on Audiogon, and i ultimately decided not to buy it. Firstly, the seller couldn't describe what the mods were and only said that "it blew me away", and secondly, a sense that they are hard to resll. What do people think?
