the point of the 3950 is that it responds very well to replacing stock components. If anyone thought these things sound good without the mods, they had nothing decent to compare them with.I highly doubt there's a "good sounding" player available under $100 that can be used without mods and qualify as a hi-fi component.
The quality of the parts in these things is bottom of the barrel - if they can save $0.01 on a capacitor they will do so. I have two 3950s that were built 2 months apart. The later model has a number of differences in the power supply, where they elected to downsize or replace components for smaller/cheaper parts.
