In Reply to: You can nominate low-priced gear for coverage in my column in Stereophile! posted by John Marks on June 21, 2003 at 08:54:34:
Hi JohnThanks for the public invite. It is encouraging to see that you and JA have not been completely turned off by some of the abuse hurled at Stereophile which has been posted here. You have thicker skins than I could muster!!
Anyway, has anyone thought about seriously investigating some of the mods offered to audiophiles? Obviously some restrictions would have to be in place -
* mod parts offered by reputable & established companies
* mods which are not too difficult to access and are readily available
* mods which can be installed by a number of technicians around the globe if the audiophile feels incapable of doing itI have been a sceptic of mods for many years and I guess most audiophiles feel the same - if it improves the product then surely the manufacturer would have done it?
Well I have changed my tune since I had a lowly Marantz 4300 CD changer modified with an Audiocom superclock. I did this mod because there was no suitable high end changer available and, the mod exceeded my wildest expectations. The lowly Marantz can now reproduce music (through digital out) which is in the same league and my Medidian 800 version 3!!!
To me, a mod such as this on a Marantz, Sony or whatever, is a much better proposition than laying out several grand on a high end CDP, and is in line with the "more affordable" approach that many (not me) are complaining is missing from Stereophile.
