for the 775


Not exactly the same product because my CE-775 mod was done by Dan Wright; didn't know anyone else was also doing. This is the only one he did. Great improvement - in fact I recently compared it to the new Sony flagship XA-9000ES ($3000) and found it close to identical on multichannel SACDs - http://www.audaud.com/audaud/JUL-AUG04/component/comp1.html Actually prior to putting iso plates and special feet under the XA-9000 it sounded worse than the 775.
