Are the Kids still attending school? Did you try the Callisto with the remote option(Albert Porter sez it's the Best-in-the-world)?
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
