for the Philips 1000
Nice review by genef in the AA files, and I appreciate his comments about my take on the 1000, though I also used the Bybees. To each his own.(See www.VideoAsylum.com/ht/messages/14700.html) Dan Wright is a first-rate guy to work with.However, I also feel obligated to report that about two weeks ago, after less than five months of relatively light use, my modded 1000 began to "skip" in all formats: CD, DVD, and SACD. It is going back to Dan for repairs this week, and I'll report on his diagnosis. (He'll fix for cost of parts alone, a fair deal in my mind since he obviously can't be held responsible for defective Philips transport or optical block or whatever it is.) But I would also caution Philips 1000 stock owners to give the unit a few months before considering any mods, since these will void the warranty. If the unit seems to work OK after a year, then I definitely recommend mods by Dan.
Product Weakness: Key factory part took a dump way too soon. Product Strengths: As stated in initial review (see link)
