I have done the CCS mod and I definitely prefer it. Thorsten hit the nail on the head. It is less of a "traditional" tube sound but it seems to have more resolution and haze around the music. Also, it you do it cascade the 10M45's. This will net you even more openness. I just did it 2 days ago (why did I wait so long?) and I am surprised at the improvement.
Gary Pimm's website has a good explanation about CCS's. Why and how they work. Explanations as to why they are more linear and why the drive is better. See the link. He also explains why cascading them helps. It is cheap and easy to do but do not forget to change the dropping resistor that feeds the CCS (original I think is 62k). I wound up using about half that. It may vary according to which generation of LD you have. Very easy to undo except for maybe the soldering on the tube socket itself.
Best of luck.
