GNSC mods of ARC gear.

Happy Holidays to all!

I've seen that many are very happy with their Great Northern Sound Company modded Wadia and Resolution Audio digital gear. I know that Steve Huntley also modifies Audio Research equipment, but I cannot find any threads in the archives from anyone who has had this done. So I'm looking for any one with experience, particularly with ARC preamps, like the Ref 1.
If you own, or have any experience with Steve's modified ARC preamps, I'd like to hear you thoughts.

Are they a worthwhile investment? What mod did you have done? What improvements did you notice?

How do they stack up with the current top preamps like the ARC Ref 3, BAT VK-51SE, or Aesthetix Callisto? Would you recommend upgrading through GNSC or just move on to a more current preamp?

TIA,
John

I have a modded gsnc ARC sp14. I purchased it because there was not anything I liked new.
After Steve modified it I really am not looking for anything else right now.
Of course if I dropped $10k on a line stage I would expect it to have the latest and the greatest.
