CG, Your new mod working out well ?? 
Wolfy,
Yes, quite well...only it pointed out how woefully shrill and inadequate my amps (Norh Multiamps) are/were in my system. I changed a couple things out and now have near grain free music happening.
I've been traveling a lot in the week since I got the stuff back from Empirical Audio/Steve (4 of last 7 days), but it sounds big, dynamic and jitter free now.
I'll post a little something in Critics Corner when I can. I don't know diddly about tech stuff and I don't listen to enough to know whether my system is world class or anything akin, but I know it's enjoyable now. THAT'S something it's never been before with digital playback.
I'm way more impressed with Steve's remarkable follow-thru and follow-up than his advanced technical prowess. I'm sure there are other modders that could have made my system sing to one degree or another. What separates Steve out from the pack, I believe based on a few horror tales out there, is his total professionalism. 18 friggin' emails in the 2 weeks from the first night I contacted him to the day he shipped back to me
I didn't initiate the emails, only answered them...he kept me abreast every step of the way - he certainly didn't have to, but did.
I've been in sales for 18 years and I haven't succeeded simply because I communicate better than most other salespeople. I simply did not expect a world class engineer to be as good at communication as he is. That kind of professionalism was way unexpected and much appreciated here.
Steve, if you're eave dropping here...I am not sure I've ever said 'thank you' to someone after dropping $1800.00 to them, but thank you I must. It was a total pleasure.
Wolfy, he keeps your insane hours, too...I emailed him at 11PM, he emailed me back at 1:30AM.
