I have had several friends who have had well known modders modify equipment, and they had to take it to a friend/electronics engineer to fix, and he said the work inside was worse than what he was doing in grade school. A 1500.00 mod, on a preamp added SS parts to a tube preamp???? And a tube preamp modded had paint sprayed inside,and the sound was now more like a transistor preamp. The tube magic was gone. There is a reason I don't buy modded gear, the quality is all over the board. Some mods work, but which ones????? The workmanship I have seen thus far is a disgrace.
I did have a friend with a Sony SCD1 modded, and his turned out good. Not all mods are bad.
Upgrading binding posts, caps, etc. is not a real mod IMHO. It is part swapping or upgrading, the circuit stays the same. It is circuit mods that bother me. jallen
