Who Does the Best Mods on CD Players

I would highly recommend "modwright" (www.modwright.com).
I have a Sony 333es which was modified by him and have been very satisfied with it. He was very easy to work with and very good about prompt communication. If I am in the market again, he will be at the top of my list.

I would echo Sean's comments. It isn't so much as _who's_ the best, as it is who's the best FOR YOU! Call several modders and discuss with them what you have, what you want, and what you expect. Then listen to their comments and get few for whose mods would be the best match for you. The modders will probably be straight up with you as to is what mods they provide are a match for you.

Thanks for the tips. I'll include Dan Wright in my list of people to call.

Stan Warren is the only one modifier that I know of that actually designed a totally proprietary descrete output stage that was offered in his mods (amoung his other unique circuits). He's also the only modifier with a past history of designing world class sounding pre-amplifiers that turned the reviewer community on it's ear. Other modifiers (such as Dan Wright) are very good, but I definately think Stan Warren is at the top of the heap. Some of Stan's circuits are so sophisticated that companies like Krell and Levinson could learn a thing or two if they took the time to review Stan's circuits. IMHO Stan Warren is that good!

I never had anything done by them, but spoke with them on the phone and he was very honest and a good guy to talk to. If I ever get something moded, I'd see what they could do for me.
