Tom doesn't say why he'd avoid the RAM mods, but there are good reasons to think hard about doing it. I've had two RAM modded products, first and second generation modded PS Audio HCA-2 amps. Kyle is decent, ethical guy who has a real talent for extracting the best from a circuit if his work on my amps is indicative of his work as a whole. His mods to the amp take it so far beyond stock performance I'm still amazed after many months of owning it. That said, there's no doubt I'm going to take a major financial drubbing if I ever sell it. I've pretty much resigned myself to never selling it and just keeping it for a backup if and when I move up the audio foodchain. You'll never recoup anything but a small portion of your cost reselling an extensively modified component. Also, if and when a modded product develops a problem, the question of where responsibility lies is a hassle. The manufacturer washes their hands of any obligations once a product is modified.
