Stan Warren is no longer offering his mods to audio gear. I emailed him regarding purchasing a pre-owned Philips SACD-1000 with his mods done to it and here is his reply:
"If it makes any
difference, you should know that I don't do mods anymore. That business
failed, thanks in large part to the sacd1000! I had done a lot of them and
had more to do when the dominoes started to fall. I became so obsessed with
finding the cause, and a cure, that my business just ground to a halt.
Well, you can't do that for very long. It was only when I heard that APL
and Reference Audio mods also had colossal fail rates, with some players
failing after repair, that I realized the futility of the situation. "
Just some audio news that I thought I'd pass along as I know that Stan is one of the good guys in audiogeekdom. (That damn SACD-1000....)
