Your way off base here , Raj. No one says the TP can't be changed through mods. The quibble is with assuming this will be an improvement and the use of the word improvement in an absolute sense. Notice no one has criticized ted-B for ordering the modwright TP. He knows the Modwright sound and has a basis to assume he will like Dan's mods. I almost was the first to send Dan a TP to mod. The offer was 1/2 price on the mods for being the guinni pig. Not knowing Dan's product as well as Ted-B I couldn't make that leap of faith. Also , listening more to TP I just didn't think there was enough room for improvement to warrant the risk of modding. I've AB'd the TP with the Ayre universal player and I didn't like the Ayre better. So shoot me cause I'm happy with the product. And ,no , I don't get free product....................darn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do love tubes and have a tube pre amp but I would never say tubes are better, they are different and sometimes I like that difference. And yes, improvement can be subjective.......that has been the point of many of the posts. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38106 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
