Emperical Audio Mods for Parasound Halo JC-1'S


Has anyone had their Parasound Halo JC-1 monoblocks modified with the $1,800.00 Emperical Audio mods, or heard ones that have been modified by them?
If so, how did they sound, and what all improvements were there over the stock factory JC-1's?
Was it a big improvement, or a so so improvement with the mods in place?
In your honest opinion, are the sonic improvements worth the $1,800.00 asking price for the mods?
All information and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Based upon the extent of the modifications the price sounds commensurate, however, and it's a big however, it voids the Parasound warranty, which is ten years parts, five years labor. The mod is nothing I would consider nor could I recommend to my customers (disclaimer: I am a Parasound Halo dealer), but if someone in the Chicago area gets the mod, it would be interesting to hear their JC-1s next to mine.

If you buy the JC-1's used like I did, the warranty is no longer a factor anyway...It is void.
If you read the original warranty papers from Parasound they state that the warranty applies to the original purchaser only, and is not transferable to any subsequent buyers.
Geez...not another sales pitch from rcrumb, I mean rcrump!

You know, we saw "The Stepford Wives" Saturday night and I noticed that Nicole Kidman, as good looking as she is, is no where near 'state of the art'. Definitely needs to 'pop' for the big ones, breast implants that is, maybe like Pam Anderson (or whatever name she goes by now). Pam knows how to spend great sums of money to get those 'state of the art' assets and Nicole needs to pay attention and pay up. She's very good at this point for a biologically machine made creature but's let's not pretend she anything more.
This transferrable warranty thing is an impediment for Bryston gear. I dont think I have ever seen any modded Bryston gear. It probably does them more harm than good to have such a long warranty - sure, it attracts buyers, who subsequently sell their stuff down the road. The equipment has real mod potential, but I will probably never mod one, except for myself perhaps. A pair of modded 7B-ST's would probably be state-of-the-art.....
