Sony 9000es modwright mods, what do you folks think?

Tireguy, I just got my heavily modded 9000ES back from Dan Wright. Initially, it didn't show the kind of improvement I had hoped for, but after about 20 hours of play time, it has improved immensely. It is now blowing away my Classe' DAC-1, and seems to be getting better every day. I HIGHLY recomend Dan's work. He really cares about what he's doing and it shows. BTW, I went with the Level III mods, along with Audiocom Q-Power regulators (4), and Bybee filters (9).
I'm about to start running the unit through a Placette Passive Linestage, which should allow the 9000 to really show its stuff. FYI, I'm using a Classe' CA-300 to drive Spendor SP1/2E's (also with two Velodyne ULD-15 II subs). The sound is absolutely involving. You won't be sorry for dealing with Dan. He's top notch, and I'm sure you will be happy with the mod--just give it time to burn in. Tim K.

Hi Scuba. What is the cost for the level 3 mods? Bybee filers, 9? Audiocom Q-Power regulators?

Mikeg, the Level III mods from Modwright are $800, the Bybees are $80 each (installed), and the regulators are $60 each. In my opinion, these mods are well worth the cost. I now have an outstanding CD, SACD, and DVD player--all in one box. I am very pleased with the work done by Dan Wright. I suggest you visit his website: www.modwright.com. It has more information on the various mods available and their respective costs. Good luck!

Thanks Scuba, nice to get a little bit of 'in the field' news, sounds like we are doing similar things, I am looking forward to it.
