Is It Worh Modding An Amp


I have a Primaluna Dialogue One that sits idle as a backup.  I’m debating the idea of having it modded. Problem is I have no idea what can or should be upgraded or if the amp is worth the investment. Id be willing to fork over 500-1000 if it was worth it and made sense compared to what else I could do with the funds.  Curious what people’s experiences and thoughts are?

No.....

Try to understand what you are wanting from you sound.......please don;t tell me more base....

A good beginning.

I'll also say No.

I’ve sent two pieces of gear out to be modded and wasn’t especially pleased each time.

The first was an Adcom GFA-555. It was away so long, I honestly couldn’t tell if there was any improvement. But I was out the money.

The second was a TacT 2.2X. The modifier fell on hard times and never finished my job. Indeed, I never even got the unit back -- a decade ago, it was in pieces somewhere in a storage unit. That was a total loss. Not the usual outcome, but it can happen.

In any case, modding is a poor financial move. Modified gear costs the owner more but is more difficult to sell (and usually sells for less) than unmodified gear.
