Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff"


Mike Powell of Verastarr has been upgrading my SR Grounding Block cables with Silver foils and now the MPC's for the Tranquility bases with far superior internal parts.

Mike is one of the best Philes I have ever worked with and understands customer satisfaction. I have all of his cables/ power strip and MServer and they have out run all previous cabling i have had in my system.

The sonic upgraded work he has done for me is well worth the $$$ and has lifted my SQ to a more desirable state.

I have had just the opposite dealing with Mike and his company Hot Rod Audio mods. It was many years ago, but would never buy or use anything he has done.

Yes i had a bad dealing with Mike, yes it was a long while ago. Hot Rod Audio Mods had a very big web page detailing their up grades for a Denon 3930 disc player. On there web sight they listed 3 or 5 mods levels for the player I purchased them all. They could not deliver on 80% of them. They farmed it out to a 3rd party. The 3rd party was able to get some of it done. It froze up about a month or two after i finally got it. When the 3rd party said they could not fix it with out another unit to take parts from. Mike suggested i buy another one so they could fix the hot rod one up. I refused, why would i buy a second unit! Mike need to buy the second unit to deliver on what i paid for. This took quit a while before i got it back again. It worked for about a year then stoped working. Hot rod Audio Mods took the web page down shortly after this played out. I never got all the mods i payed for on the unit nor a refund of any kind. I have moved on since then, but will never do business with Mike again...

Yes i asked you to fix it you could not! You blamed the 3rd party for it. I did not hire the 3rd party you did. You said you put more money into it and could not put any more, Not my problem i payed you to do the things your web page said you would do and you did not. You tried to slide out of it and make it between me and the 3rd party. You ducked my phone calls when i would call.

Yes you did do the 3930. I  still have the receipt give me a fax number and i will fax it to you!  Your invoice #2183  date 1/3 07 Whats the number to contact you???? The last mod on your web page at the time was for the feet to up grade from the hard plastic to a soft jell type. It was one of the ones not done that i can recall now. the other mods where ones you said could not be done to the unit. Because of the design you said. Alexs fixed it twice  in a 3 month period and said there is nothing more he could do with it. Alex moved his operation overseas so if i wanted it fix or looked at i would have had to ship it to him.  Yes Dennon went away from the design of the 3930, but i did not buy it from Dennon i bought it from you. SO FANBOY you never knew what was inside the player, what could be done and what could not. But your web page claimed you did.. When you could not do the work is when you brought Alex in and he installed a new board of his design to get it to your claim. But the mods on your web sight could not be done in full.

The story has never changed Its been the same. It would not matter if Denon worked on it you could not deliver on what you said you would do....You and Hot Rod Audio failed not Denon or Alex.  Getting Alex to work on it was to cover your screw up. Not knowing what mods could be done to the 3930. Not my fault not Denon fault not Alex fault your fault. What makes it worst is your name calling and trying to drag down another cable co. which has nothing to do with our situation.  Can not wait to hear from you. My number and email have not changed
Spoke with Mike today and problem solved. I did not post here with any want of compensation of any kind .Mike offered , but their is no need for it. Mike is a stand up guy.
