In Reply to: Mods in most cases are a waste!! posted by jazz1 on December 23, 2009 at 21:13:23:
And I actually had two mods done to it, courtesy of Richard Kern, each resulting in vastly different sonic signatures relative to each other and the stock unit.
If you believe that everything in the signal path and the electrical path influences the sound quality, it follows that modifications can have an enormous impact. I'd just as soon buy a stock machine that is perfect, but I don't see one that optimizes SACD, CD and Blu-ray performance. The Ayre and Theta are just rebadged Oppos that seem to deliver less modifications than the "unsanctioned" ones. And the Marantz U9004 is just a rebadged Denon that has unfortunate HDMI limitations relative to the Oppo. So barring an unforeseen announcement at CES, a mod'ed Oppo may be the best route for me to take.
