Some recommendations in the $100 range:
- Chris VenHaus Pulsar's ($135)
- Gregg Straley (search Audiogon) twisted pair (probably floats around $120)
- Aural Thrills Gold (if you can get it cheap enough on auction here)
I have used all of these (AT Gold Active version), and all are great for the $$.
BTW, have you listened much to the EVS-mod'd player? I have the S47, was considering geting the mod as well; Ric did great jobs on a Sony and Pioneer mod previously.
Thanks,
