Who Does the Best Mods on CD Players

Stan Warren came pretty highly recommended to me about 18 months ago. Stan claims that his mods on a sony dvp s9000es will improve the sonics by 25%.

A friend of a friend (who is an audio reviewer (for whatever that's worth)) had his s9000es mod'ed by Stan. From what I was told the friend of a friend claimed the sonic improvements were more like 40%.

-IMO

I would suggest calling up a few different "tweakers" and talking to them. When doing something of this nature, it is important to be very clear about what you want and expect and how much you will have to pay to get those results. It is also important that you feel comfortable dealing with whomever you choose. If problems arise, you don't want to try to discuss something with someone that you think will be hard to deal with. I would also look for someone that spends a lot of time working on the specific type of products that you want to have modified. Sending a cd or dvd player to someone that primarily works on amps / preamps, etc... or sending ss to a tube specialist might not get the results that you want. Sean

I was very happy with the mods performed by Musical Concepts on my Pioneer DVD/CD player. I highly recommend their work.

Sean's advice sounds solid. I'd include Dan Wright of ModWright (www.modwright.com) in the list of people to talk to. He modified my CAL Delta with excellent results.
