"I wonder if Dan W is just a component swapper or what. as far as I
know, he just replaces generic components with brand name stuff,
swaps out lesser-known opamps and replaces them with other
"hyped" opamps, beefs up caps, bypasses caps, diodes to hexfreds.
All these little nobrainers are too easy to be done by any
skilled persons. Actually the performance gain is questionable."

So I guess you have carried out the mods he has kindly provided freely in The Asylum? You probably found (just as I did) that 1) the instructions were very clear (in fact better than a lot of manuals that come with equipment that you actually have to buy) 2) not many others have contributed to anywhere near the extent that Dan has and 3) you didn't have to pay a cent to Dan for them.

If you've got a problem with how much he charges for his mods then I would've thought it would a simple matter of not getting them!

Dan has been less active in the Asylum since his venture with Perpetual and his desire to respect the rules (which are there to minimise complaints from people like you). Personally, sometimes I think we are all worse off because of it. Think about it.
