Sony 9000ES: DanWright or StanWarren Mod

Does this third party work void the 3 year warranty?

Dweller: You bet! Always a consideration when doing mods, as well as a possible resale value effect.

Any work done by a non-authorized repair center will likely void the warranty. Ask before you have the work done if it's a concern.

I would think the mods would enhance resale value provided you can prove who did the work. Price being similar, I know I would rather buy a used 9000ES with one of the above mods over a stock 9000ES.

I bought a used Perpetual Technologies set-up with the Dan Wright mods and power supply -- it sounds great and does not void the warranty since the company approves Dan Wright mods. Then, I sent him a Pioneer DV-525 and the blacks are blacker and the sound is richer -- very nice work. Plus, he's very easy to deal with.

Don't know about the 9000ES, but Macm's advice and Chelillingworth's sound right. Hope that helps. Sorry I have no Stan Warren experience. I know Dan's really busy right now and asks that you e-mail rather than call, so the timing may also be a consideration.

Thx Guys.
