Hi Dbld,I'm also looking into mods. Could you share your bad experience with a modification? 
Stillpoint ERS Paper Question
I've been playing with this stuff for a couple of years now, and believe me, it can drive you nuts. But, it can also amaze you if you spend the time. I use many small pieces (13 on my cd player). My pieces range in size from approx. 1/8 x 1/2 inch... 
Anyone else having trouble getting Wadia repairs?
Someone who has been involved in phases of this business ranging from manufacturing to sales, explained it to me like this: You have a small company with a fixed number of employees. Nobody can predict future sales and the company wants to keep it... 
Wich high end CD palyer?
Ccereda- 14k and higher if it's worthwhile?It's almost impossible to imagine a less than stellar performer at that price. I presume you're asking because you desire value, even with your budget. You didn't list your equipment and, particularly for... 
Wich high end CD palyer?
Stvncar-Absolutely right; that was my point (I'll bet everyone else caught that). Many people make the jump from mid-fi to hi-fi seeking to experience the illusion of hearing a live performance available only through recordings. Your "off the subj... 
Which of your component purchases was "magical"?
Krellcoda- You're right, the nod would be to obvious. Just wink if she made you write that. 
Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new?
Goose- Much thanks. Could you indulge me further by listing some of the players, you auditioned, when you chose your 999ES. Did you listen to the Musical Fidelity A5 as it's nearly the same price?

Lkdog- A friend, with an extensive collection, is currently bringing me up to speed on jazz, with a strong emphasis on the legends. My knowledge is limited but I have become an avid fan. 
Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new?
Lkdog- It's interesting that you tied in SACD with classical music. Iv'e been relatively unenthusiastic with my systems performance in that regard. Ironically, that was my main reason for getting involved. Ya know Lkdog, It's been about 15 years s...

Clio09- Thanks for the generous offer, but I live in Chicago. 
Which of your component purchases was "magical"?
To Krellcoda: Is she sitting next to you? Just nod. 
Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new?
Goose- How did the subs integrate with the Utopias? Have you achieved seemlessness(is that a word)? Are there trade-offs. Are you running your speakers full range. Whats the crossover point? I've been wrestling with this. Also, I'm not convinced t...

To Stvncar: You're right of course. 40k, that's a lot of live concerts. By the way, what are Sinatra tickets going for these days? 
Which of your component purchases was "magical"?
My first magical experience came when I plugged all my components into a Walker Velocitor. 
Interesting discovery
I can't say what the powder was, but if you're seeking to maximize your connections, please consider a contact enhancer. I use "Walker extreme SST" with great success.
