Don Scott Specially Modified Marantz Tuner?


I'm seriously considering purchasing the modified Marantz ST6000P tuner that Don Scott offers on the tuner information site.

Does any one own one of these ST6000Ps or other Don Scott
specially modified tuners?

He certainly has quite a reputation in terms of tuner knowledge.

I'll appreciate any replies!

Thanks!

Got,

Don modified a Mitsubishi tuner for me recently and did a terrific job. The captive power cord was replaced with an IEC receptacle, the captive interconnect was replaced with quality RCA's, and he also installed a high-blend
control, getting rid of most of the noise in stereo mode. Don also did a great job in cleaning the tuner up, it looks as new. Very knowledgable, pleasant, and fair gentleman. All in all a very cost effective upgrade, I'd recommend anyone with an interest in tuners consider get in touch with Don.
I have heard the stock model and it performs great for the price. Don could only make it better. Don's mods on the Marantz include adding a Hi-Blend, which is missing on a stock model, the same as the Mitsubishi.

Also read the HiFi Choice review. They gave it a Best Buy. They also openned it up and found the electronics inside to be as good as the $600 to $1000 tuners they were also reviewing in that issue. Just the case and cosmetics were of cheaper quality (should be for the price). The link is:
