I had my Oppo 95 modded by Ric Schultz of EVS and was the first person to get the Audiomagic pulse Gen ZX and the new clock and power supply for the main clock (the very latest goodies). Before I sent it to him I burned in the unit for about 500 hours, listening every 100 hours or so. Out of the box it sounded kind of closed in, not much bass, just so so. At 500 hours it sounded really good
everything opened up, nice bass and soundstage. But the EVS modded player
this is something else!!.....a whole different machine. This is the best sound I have ever heard in my setup. CDs sound fantastic now
.pretty darn close to SACD. And I compared SACDs to my vinyl and I gotta tell you
.it is pretty dang close! I love my vinyl, but this is the 1st time I can actually say
.I could live with just this machine
it is that good. This machine is just so much fun to listen to now
..goose bumps all over the place
..very accurate, very detailed but not analytical at all
.very real. I also checked out the video before and after and the picture is better as well
..not just a little either
..regular dvds improved the most but even blue rays look nicer too!.....talk about surround sound! Just unbelievable!
I have had several long talks with Ric and its obvious he knows what he is doing. He has been doing this stuff for over 37 years. Please read the info on his website and see the pictures and see what he does .he does a lot more than the other modders ..plus he is a lot cheaper .that is why I went with Ric......but the proof was in the pudding and he delivered. Sorry about the rant but this thing is just through the roof great!
