This thread is a spin-off of my previous thread about used transports (like "Frasier from Cheers"). Is modding a transport akin to alchemy or is it a poor man's road to a top-notch transport?
there is an informative testimonial about mods at tweakaudio.com
if done by someone who knows what they are doing (Kern, Wright, etc.) I think its the real thing -- very good way to improve sound for not too much money.
Mods, are the real thing. As an individual, you can spend $200-300, in your player, to improve it immensely. As a manufacturer, a $100 cost increase, each, for 100,000 units, drives his production costs up, astronomically.
There is also Stan Warren. His only transport specific mod I am aware of is the Aiwa CD changer. He may do other transport mods, but you would need to call him.
Why aren't manufacturers doing this stuff themselves?I look at this Ah!Tjube CD player and for the bucks looks good but wondering if modifying my Sony 333 would be worth it.This is the type of moded product you would think more folks would want to produce.
