Amplifier Mods

The D-225 may be down the road. Right now anything I do will be on the inexpensive side.

FYI, Paul said he'd bring my cd player up to the current mod for free. Of course I'd have to pay if I want the battery upgrade.

Not married to the DNA, but I do like it. And from what I've heard, with the relatively inexpensive mods, it becomes very good.

What's retail on the TRL D-225?

$4000 is quite a price jump, even compared to a Rev A mod.

I agree the SMc seems like the logical choice and in the end will probably be where I go. The reasons I was considering TRL are
1) They modded my CD player and the difference was FAR beyond my expexctations.
2) Paul makes some VERY good amps and after discussing it with him, he told me they could make a huge difference to my DNA. If it was anyone else I'd take it with a grain of salt, but I know what he did to my CD player and I've seen the reviews on his amps.

Clio-
I just exchanged emails with Lkdog. He seems to second your view. His final line summed it up, "it's a no brainer".

I need to send my Sony 900 back to him for some upgrades. He said mine was one of the first ones they did and they've learned a couple new tricks since then. Maybe I'll send the McCormack at the same time. Although I won't be sending either for another month or so, I'll send them when we're on vacation, that way I won't be without them so long.

Not sure of the reasons, but Paul at TRL does not disclose exactly what they do, for any of their mods. He does tell you what improvements you can expect to hear and if you don't like what you hear he'll refund your money.
