Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications

Can anyone give me some impressions on these machines? I currently have a much more expensive player. I like the fact that these players are universal, physically much smaller than what I have, and cheap(!). There is a very positive post here on the stock player, but if it is that good, why aren't more people jumping on board. Is it that good? Or just good for the money?

Well I can break the news now. Here's a link to an article I was contracted to write for IEE Spectrum magazine.

http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/wonews/jun05/0605ngeek.html

It details the modification steps for the Toshiba 4960 and/or Samung 841 machines.

Enjoy,
Bob

i have to say that i am *very* pleased with the sound of my modded toshiba with every disc i throw at it. i had a modded jolida jd100 with smooth-plate teles that i sold about a year ago or so, and as of now i don't miss it a bit. i think the outlay was about 4 times that for the toshiba. i put a paperback book with a 3# weight on top to ensure that the chassis is adequately damped. ymmv.
