In Reply to: What will the gain over the Level 4 (4.5?) with the Level 5 mod? posted by rich121 on December 17, 2004 at 11:36:19:
To be honest, we don't know as we don't have the teflon board here yet. And won't have until we have completed our move to Switzerland in Jan/Feb 2005.> Very interesting, as I was just about to get the 4.5. I will now wait for the Level 5, if it is that much better<
Can't say - it may be huge and it may be minor. There will be little or no circuit difference between the teflon version and the "4.5" that Bill or Warren can fit right now. I'd suggest you talk to them about doing the 4.5 now and getting a good deal on upgrading to the "5" when (or if) it becomes a viable option. If it doesn't really shine we won't release it - we are not into charging for fancy parts if they don't show a MAJOR improvement.

Since I just dropped my SCD-1 off to Warren for the level 4 VSE mod, it is a bit frustrating to see a new version in the works which is a total replacement in circuit boards and "bits".> I'd suggest that you talk to them about doing the "4.5" now and getting a good deal on upgrading to the "5" if (or when) it becomes a viable option <
Do you as the company head of VSE back up the > good deal < that you suggest that we ask Warren or Bill to give us as their customers regarding the > good deal < on the upgrade path from the 4.5 the 5 when (or if) it becomes a viable option? I don't mean to sound difficult here but I've personally got caught up on this kind of thing in the past from a Hi- End manufacturer only to find that this kind of "promise" was not honored and I as the customer was the looser in the end .
the teflon pcb "Level 5" (if & when it happens) at the price difference between their old upgrade level and what the new level is priced at.So you will not loose anything in having the current upgrade done now, and as we have no exact date when the Teflon "5" will be available (if ever) you will have full enjoyment of the current award winning performance in the meantime.

Thanks Allen. Thats good news regarding the upgrade. I look forward to hearing the VSE in my SCD-1
