Is It Worh Modding An Amp


I have a Primaluna Dialogue One that sits idle as a backup.  I’m debating the idea of having it modded. Problem is I have no idea what can or should be upgraded or if the amp is worth the investment. Id be willing to fork over 500-1000 if it was worth it and made sense compared to what else I could do with the funds.  Curious what people’s experiences and thoughts are?

The chance you will regret it is actually higher than anticipated.

Do you really want an unknown hands temper with your equipment for the goal you don't know if you achieve or not??

I'll add some more.

If I need a repair of any precious equipment I know techs who only will replace non-working components and touch or re-touch nothing else if everything else is in tact. 

I've repaired already several vintage and modern components at reasonable prices paid mostly for labor and diagnostics and rest little for parts and their quality work brings many units back to original specs like fresh new strings on guitar or violin. 

They don't offer any upgrades for the sakes of keeping solid reputation. Far more than often those upgrades don't satisfy customer and require lots of uncreative labor. Real pros would never advise you to fall on that upgrade bait.

@waytoomuchstuff clearly reflected my points of view on what not to do with pure nonsense ESPECIALLY about FUSE so figure out what's gonna happen after "upgrades".
