To be fair, many of the ICs used as replacements can be said to offer world class slew rates etc. And the modifiers in some cases may also bias the devices' output stages into Class A to further improve performance.

Is there anywhere to go to read more about the general circuit design approach used by Stan Warren? I'm sure you would agree that "esoteric" doesn't necessarily mean "better."

Certainly, though, his work seems to have received unanimously excellent reviews. And I agree, his services appear to offer an excellent value.

Simon: I'm sure Stan Warren's modifications are an improvement over the sound of the stock units--as are the less-extensive modifications offered by other modifiers. I would be interested in hearing more about any comparisons between the various modifications available.
Is there anywhere online where I can find some specifications or details about his modifications? Thanks.
