jackmonster, I just had Tdss mod my Bencmark AHB-2's. Money well spent! Some of my thoughts.
I played Pink there you go and the the sound of silence by Disturbed as before mods I would find myself turning the volume down do to there voices sounding bright. I always thought it was the recordings but with Bobs mods that brightness is totally gone. Cymbals and horns are also smoothed right out and sweetened up and warmer but with added resolution and transparency. Soundstage depth and width are also increased with the speakers disappearing even better.
I am also amazed how much my low bass is improved. Seems like Bobs mods have at least doubled my output power. Upper and mid bass is also way improved. Much more punch and snap. Incredible!
I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. I will be sending my dac next. First need to sell my subs and singledriver horns as my second system/room idea is not going to happen. I will update as I get more listening time in.
Update!
Getting more time in on my TDSS Bob modded amps. I make changes/improvements and can notice differences but couldn't tell blindfolded. I feel that if someone were to a/b stock versus modded I could pick the modded ones with ease.
The sense of realism is now through the roof. The sense of space and added transparency leave me in awe. I am discovering information in the music I know very well that I never heard before. Again the midbass punch and low bass slam are way improved! Its like the resolution in the midrange and cleaning of the highs has brought out the bass and midbass.
My best analogy is like when adding properly setup subs and it improves the highs, mid and soundstage.
Good stuff!
Thank you TDSS Bob! You have made me a believer.
