Has Anyone Tried RAM'S Rega Saturn Mod?

If so, please tell me what you think. Any feedback would help purchasing decision. Specifically, sell my Saturn and use funds towards purchase of $5-6K Exemplar Music Server/Dac or go with the RAM mod. I know these are somewhat different animals but I like playing CDs and would probably just use the Exemplar to play my collection-I put little stock in a server's convenience over gettin'and poppin' a CD, and much stock in how my CD collection sounds.(Also, the roughly $2K+ extra for the Exemplar is worth $2K+)

Wasn't there alot of people having problems with Ram?

I live in Michigan , and I tried many times to listen to some of one of their modifications.
The lack of communications and excuses...
Well, lets just say, I never would have bought anything from them.

Ozzy, you might be thinking of the "issues" that occurred when RAM east (Doug Jesse) and RAM west (Kyle Takenaga) parted ways. There are numerous threads over at Audioasylum about this and the fallout. I don't want to fan the flames about something I know nothing about, so I'd leave it those who care to read what others said on that forum. It's no secret that Kyle no longer works with Mr. Jesse and has severed all business relationships with him. Kyle is personally making good on all warranty work related to RAM east problems.

The photo on the website of the Rega Saturn is mine. It is a mod, that for Rega Saturn owners, should be seriously considered. Kyle Takenaga is a consciences individual who does first class work. The Saturn is transformed into a serious piece of Digital hardware. I couldn't be more pleased with it's sound quality, it's range, extension and dynamic capability are turned up several notches to the point where it is in the elite of red-book playback! Recommended?? You Bet!!
