Modification Nightmares


I believe people have been modifying their equipment long enough to tell us who is worth it and who is not.People should be aware of all policies and all the fine print.I dont think some of these guys realize it takes the aveage person months to save up $2000 or more.

first off:That was what i had in mind,a good SACD,DVD and 2ch player,since the player was new(not hot as the modifier states,he was pulled off of audiogon years ago and recently shut down at audio circle for repeated threats..and me also(by the way if you read this DS,my lawyer is Denny Crane of Crane,Poole,and Schmit)
So far i have learned that there is no,absolutely no difference in any digital(audio and video) relm and for the few hours i had it hooked up the anolog did sound more forward(but the left side was distorted)and i was comparing to a Denon 2930ci,not exactly fair.I have also learned that unless you buy a new out this year model of marantz and denon,good luck with parts.
I am sure you will hear a blaze of words ahead but it is typical.
i do hope it is worth the wait????????
PS...oh yes lets blame shipping for everything and then try filing a claim with the postal service to a totaly physically undamaged player?
It depends on who does it no doubt.A lot of mods raise the price up so much,it might be better to just upgrade.A friend sent an amp back to the factory for their upgrade mod.After the mod,it sounded like it had enhanced the original flaws. I've heard good and bad.One thing for sure,make sure they give you at least the same down time extension on the warranty.
Results, with his CD Modifications.
I was very reluctant, to say the least, at the thought of
a tool going inside this Awesome Brand New Player.

Actually my wife did the whole order for me.
She got a new Marantz SA-11S2 SACD player, and they did the
Level 2 Mod. and I have NEVER been more satisfied with
my musical experience.

He explained what they would do, after I explained what

kind of sound I was trying to achieve.

I told him what I was currently using.

And to my HUGE Surprise! In a very timely fashion,it arrived, and the fact that I can't even tell that the player
has been open, speaks to the level of care given to each
player.

Kyle in Riverside (RAM Mods)is also excellent but I have not had work done by him yet.

Walter is not after a sale, he is after a "Customer",
the latter, keeps on coming back for ALL their needs.

The confidence, and TRUST has been proven.

I wanted a sound like a "Sony Dash Master Tape player",
but the convenience of a CD.

Somehow, that is EXACTLY what I now enjoy!

Believe it or not, sometimes You DO get what You ask for.

Oh, the stock Marantz is nothing to frown at, the Mods.
done, take a Great player, and make it just the way I
Like it.One of the Absolute Best! IMHO that is.

Thank You Walter, for the gift of Great Music, and a
fine education on the in's and out's of what does what
to make changes in the sound of a player.

Considering a Mod to a CD player, give Walter a call, and
tell him Mr. Broadway, told You to call because you want to enjoy your music, at it's Finest.

He will ask what you have, and perhaps he can Mod. what you
own, or he will find a way, to more than satisfy your
Love for Music.

Walter has True Passion for Music.

Love Your Music!

I sure am...
