Oppo BDP105 mod

Yikes is right. Sounds like another company's mods, who shall remain nameless. If you open it up to see what's inside the warranty is void. I would avoid this type of modification unless you listen first, too many unknowns. As someone who purchases a component and has it modified one should at least be somewhat familiar with what is being done. Dan Wright's modifications are superb for this unit if you want to explore a proven path of results. Based on the general accolades by owners of his "Truth mod" I purchased a used Oppo 95 sound unheard and it was beyond ALL expectations. I would add the cavaet, "in my system" as is always the case. I would also look at Rick Shultz's modifications (EVS) based on what I have read from end users. Nothing beats hearing first if that opportunity presents itself.

Why not name them and help all of us out?

BTW, I do agree with everything you said.

Since you ask M297904 I'll tell you why. The fact that whether or not the modification is good or not isn't revealed by the practice of the business. It may or may not be a good modification. By ME naming the company I was referring to might imply to readers that it is not a GOOD modification or way to spend your money, maybe, maybe not, who knows? I haven't heard first hand I only know his business practice and I AM supicious. So with that in mind I challenge the business practice if not the results. Who knows the results other than from the testimonials? The point is for the OP to navigate these waters carefully and throughly and not get caught up in a "sales pitch" with less substance than a verifiable result which might be substantiated by unsolicitated concensus by happy end users. Often modifications can't be heard first hand so the only thing left is word of mouth. If this guy doesn't have any "word of mouth" other than what is published on his website, I'd be very careful before proceeding.

Ric's mods are great...more to come

I would say that it IS the business practice that is the real issue we should take exception to. And THAT is reason enough to jack-slap ANY audio manufacturer for using it. To me it makes no real difference if the product is any good or not. It is far too much of a slippery slope toward opening the door to any future sham, either by Dave or the next clown who can see that what Dave is doing can work for them.

In full agreement that Mod Wright and Ric Schultz are more than legit and provide excellent mods.
