Has Anyone Tried RAM'S Rega Saturn Mod?

If so, please tell me what you think. Any feedback would help purchasing decision. Specifically, sell my Saturn and use funds towards purchase of $5-6K Exemplar Music Server/Dac or go with the RAM mod. I know these are somewhat different animals but I like playing CDs and would probably just use the Exemplar to play my collection-I put little stock in a server's convenience over gettin'and poppin' a CD, and much stock in how my CD collection sounds.(Also, the roughly $2K+ extra for the Exemplar is worth $2K+)

Could you please give us a little more information, like what exactly is it about the Saturn you dislike or want to enhance? Did you vet out how long RAM will warantee the entire REGA player since the original warantee will be voided?

Thanks,

If the choice was mine I would sell the Rega and put the money towards a used Exemplar 3910 and some good tubes (since the server is not set in stone) for it. Although I have not heard the modified Rega, I would avoid the RAM mods.

Can't help with info on the Saturn mod, but I can say I've had a few component modified by RAM and couldn't be happier with the work done.

If you haven't already done so, I'd highly advise you call Kyle at RAM (he's the one who would be doing the mod) and get his opinion.

Not only is he a nice guy, he's also a wealth of information and can thoroughly explain what you can expect from one of his mods.

His experience in modding so many different bands and units over quite a few years now, gives him a unique perspective into differences between different pieces of equipment.
