In Reply to: Did you read Ric Schultz's take on mod'ing the Oppo? He thinks the NuForce mods are a waste posted by Jazz Inmate on December 22, 2009 at 13:29:20:
They are a few reasons why I would not mod a new machine.
First in most cases you would have bought a machine you've personally heard, tried and like, or a machine that received many good reviews in
the main stream audio press not the fringe press such as PF or 6 moons.
Remember we have reviewer of the caliber of Teresa working for them.
If you like how your new machine sound "Leave it alone"
But the main reasons are.
1) You loose the factory warranty (could be an expansive mistake)
2) I did hear good stories, but also bad ones, and this is not only
on cd players.
3) In general I find the mods very expansive considering what it involves, in most cases the mods are as expansive or more expansive than the machine itself.
4) I have never seen a proper review of a standard machine versus a modded machine, by a proper review I mean a double blind test.
There is too much bias coming into it if done by a new owner that has to justify his expenses or the manufacturer that has to justify the mods.
5) A modded machine guarantees that you will make a greater capital loss when you sell it.
I would only consider a mod if the machine is out of warranty or if the machine has been superseeded by a new model that is much more expansive.
In general new machines are obsolete within 4 or 5 years as technology moves on.
