marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications

My Marantz SA-11S2 has the Underwood Level 2 Mod.

I have what I "Dreamed" of, a SACD player that
sounds like a "Master Tape Player" , except it's a Disc.

Every positive attribute, can be heard after the Mod.

Better resolution,tighter, quicker response,
Better imaging,focus, etc..

IMHO, this player will hold it's own with the Best.

We ALL hear differently, but my ears have never been
more happy.

I am so very thankful!

Love Your Music!

I sure am!

As a SA11-S2 owner, I can add that you will be very disappointed when expecting a tube sound from the SA11-S2. For a tube sound you test the Raysonic of MF's.

Welbourne Labs sells hybrid modules for players. They come with an outboard power supply, which is a very good idea. This way you can use a power cord optimized for the analog stage, and another for the digital. Same for PLCs.
The modules have a tube input, and mosfet output, no coupling capacitors, so they should give a nice full, somewhat more 3D sound.

Marantz is warm to begin with

being a SACD player which processes more digital signal than a CDP, it's important to lower it's jitter error.
