Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player

I think Stan gives a one year warranty on the mods. He said if would depend on the repair depot whether they would accept the factory warranty on the rest of a new unit that he does not modify, such as the transport mechanism and laser. He did say he has only had one CD player returned to him (which he fixed for free of course). I did speak ealier with a member of the Chicago Audio Society who has a Stan modified Aiwa. He said the Aiwa as a transport was shockingly good out of the box and a "killer" after the Stan mod.

The only downside is going into a Best Buy at this time of the year. LOL.

The Aiwa is on sale for $79.95 at my Best Buy

I paid $85 plus $5 shipping (list price was $89.95) with a 30 day trial. I am going to listen to the player in its stock mode before deciding to send it for modifications. However, Stan Warren does make a credible case for his mods. Either way it seems like a bargain, but you never know until you try. I will report back if I have anything interesting to say. Happy Holidays to all.
