Here's what I did. Nothing.

My entire system is modded...almost. Even a Pass Labs Xono and Pass Labs XVR-1-3 (3 way crossover). Magnepan 3.6 speaker mods (Dueland Cast copper crossover network for the tweeter mid-range) cost as much as the speakers. 2 amps, Counterpoint NP220s; they're totally custom.

I have 2 pieces I haven't touched - an ARC Reference 40 Anniversary preamp and my SA-7S1. Well, I changed the fuses out in the Marantz.

I've looked at every modifier everyone suggested here and a few more including an extensive one in the UK (I'm in the US).

I've made up my mind. The player sounds so good, I'm not touching it.

Good to know Barry. What did you hear different when you changed the fuses in the Marantz, and how do you change them? Thanks.

  Here are some links on fuse impacts and how to's:

  The thread also includes some ideas I got from a You Tube video awhile back which I can't seem to find now (grounding the chassis, shorting the digital clock input, and putting a copper sleeve over the power cord input connector).
  
  Ok, I lied. I did modify my SA7 S1 a little bit but all the changes are easily reversible. Not sure any of these made that much of a difference even though theoretically they make sense.
  
  I know this one will sound different (better?) - a totally tricked out Marantz SA, (complete with schematics and parts list) showing better bigger PS caps, new clocks, RFI shielding, wire changes and better, discrete, local regulators everywhere!

  Too bad we can't hear the results here in the USA.
