Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications

Can anyone give me some impressions on these machines? I currently have a much more expensive player. I like the fact that these players are universal, physically much smaller than what I have, and cheap(!). There is a very positive post here on the stock player, but if it is that good, why aren't more people jumping on board. Is it that good? Or just good for the money?

Well I can break the news now. Here's a link to an article I was contracted to write for IEE Spectrum magazine.

It details the modification steps for the Toshiba 4960 and/or Samung 841 machines.

Enjoy,

I started the mods thread over at AudioCircle. Check it out on the Multichannel and Digital forum.

The mods smooth out any residual digital harshness and improve the palpability of the player. The presentation and PRAT and dynamics are improved dramatically. Well worth the effort and the small cost in parts and time.

I've moved on to other projects recently and have my modded unit up for sale on the Trading Circle over there. But I wouldn't be selling it if I had my choice (wife says something must go).

Enjoy,
Bob
