marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications

has anyone had a marantz 11s2, 7s1 or other older marantz reference sacd player modified ? if so, how did the sound change ?

i will be getting a marantz 11s2 soon and am thinking about having a tube buffer stage installed, to "warm up" the sound. i am not aware of anyone who does this.

does anyone know of any modifiers who have done this in the past ?

thanks

Kyle at Reference Audio Mods has worked extensively on the SA11 & substitutes a buffered output stage based on silver coupling transformers. No tubes, but very smooth & resolving.

So you're looking to have the SA-11S2 modified to "warm it up" before you've even allowed it to break in and heard it perform in your system ? That's like automatically adding salt to your food without first tasting it to see if it already has enough. If you must mod, ModWright mods are available through dealer Underwood Hi-Fi (underwoodhifi.com).
