marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications

has anyone had a marantz 11s2, 7s1 or other older marantz reference sacd player modified ? if so, how did the sound change ?

i will be getting a marantz 11s2 soon and am thinking about having a tube buffer stage installed, to "warm up" the sound. i am not aware of anyone who does this.

does anyone know of any modifiers who have done this in the past ?

thanks

Just out of curiosity, How much better is the Marantz S2 than the S1?

Much better as it is and if you. Get the level 2 from Underwood. You will be amazed.

high mitch2:

reading your post again indicates the solution to my problem.

i sold the 11s2 over a year ago and am currently using a ps audio pwt with a minimax dac with a nos 5814. the sound is to my taste.

solid stae and tube products do not sound the same. i doubt that i would be happy with any solid state cd player.
