For posting this. I was just about to start a new thread to see if anyone had Doug perform his output stage ("budget") mod for the Marantz SA-7S1 (see link below). Your post has put any thoughts about doing this on hold. If Doug would like to reply with an explanation we should at least read it.In case anyone is wondering, I don't feel that the SA-7S1 NEEDS a mod. However, Alex or Allen have stated that the HDAM-SA2 output modules are the weak link in the player. Assuming this is true and that they could be replaced with a nice transformer output stage, the result could be an even better player.
