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.

Dalton why dont you ask Steve, to loan you the JC 1,
pay the shipping back and forth if it does not work,
If it works send Him the $1800 check plus one way
shipping.I respect Bob and Bryan, they know the JC1
very well than most of us.If you are really interested
why not.I myself, I benefited from modification.My
Sony 9000es,IMS now, sounds so musical.In the end,
music is a passion,Why not.I did hear the JC1 thru
the courtesy of Bryan, they are very good amp.Let
me know if the mod is worth it.I almost forgot
to send yours to Him, so you keep His.

Hey Drhst20,
Did you ever get your Empirical Audio modded JC-1's back yet?
If so, what are your impressions of them after the mods?
Are they significantly better than stock?
Do they live up to your expectations?
Any areas that you are still not completely satisfied with?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks.
Angela

You are not the only one to ask. Please everyone...Give me one more week and I will provide a complete review (Just started a new job so I have been very busy). In short though, I am very pleased with the outcome!
