Phillips 1000 APL mod

Stereotimes just gave the modded unit a very positive reccomendation. Has anyone heard this player with the " reference Mod " yet?

Alex brought it over to do a shoot out with my Audiomeca Mephsito II.X player. The Mephisto was superior in the area of having a more sonically black background, however, taken on pure musicality I felt the Phillips/APL mod gave a better showing then the Mephisto that day.

Unfortunately these impressions were had with one of my speakers having a defective mid-range ribbon panel, which I was not aware of at the time. I would need to do another comparison with my repaired speaker...though since both players were handicapped the same way...who knows, it might be the same again.
