*** the guy who owned it before me was a Marantz enthusiast who had no doubt of the improvements brought by the modifications, and he had an unmodified CD7 to make the comparisons with after every stage of the process. ***Well, dare I suggest that perception bias and the placebo effect is at work here.
After all, since he has already committed to paying for the mod, he's hardly in an objective frame of mind. As a control experiment, I would be willing to bet his reaction would have been similar if all that happened at every "stage of the process" was the player being burned in, and no substantial changes made to it other than soldering a few stray wires to give the illusion that changes have been made (and of course, a few stray wires here and there will change the EMI compatibility which may cause the player to sound different).
And since he was trying to sell the player to you (which you subsequently bought), of course it is in his interest to claim that there were substantial improvements, which increases the perceived value (and selling price) of the player.
Sorry to be so negative, but I'm trying to be a Devil's Advocate here.
