That's a key point in modding. The issue about this mod is that it is likely to have quite a dramatic change on the sound - it's a whole new output stage. Even if it is better (in however that may be defined), *you* may not like it as much. However, you could get a TP sent direct , and when it's sent to you it would be 'returned from repair' so may not be subject to VAT. Total cost $4k = £2k (2.9k?), and with the current retail price of the Transporter, I can't see that you would get less than that for a Modwright modded one. truckfighters;224671 Wrote: > I have read a lot about the SB+ and other SB mods and I think there is > no doubt about it, that the SB could be or was already greatly > improved. > > So why shouldn't this be possible for the TP? It should be possible, and of course it is possible. However, much of the difference between the SB3 and the TP is in what makes the latter 'audiophile'. If you're going to take this out anyway, why not just start with the SB3, as that's a lot cheaper! £1,500 is a lot to pay for 24/96, an extra screen and a flashy knob ;) Adam -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others http://www.last.fm/user/AdamSlim/ 'Last.fm group: people who don't listen to any of last.fm's top artists' (http://www.last.fm/group/People+who+don%27t+listen+to+any+of+last.fm%27s+top+artists) SB+, EAR 859, Living Voice Auditorium II plus some other stuff SB3, Shek d2, Ming-Da MC84-C, Harbeth HL-P3ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38106
