For Sale is a TRL modded Sony CD/SACD changer. A highly regarded mod to a very solid CD player.
The following 6moons review discusses the TRL SCD-CE595 player. The 2000ES is a step up from the CE595 both in stock and modified form.

http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/stephstuffers/stuffers.html There are a number of discussions in the AudioGon forums about TRL SACD player modifications and the sony 2000es in general. One owner wrote the below:
"do know that the TRL C2000ES is a great sounding player. It is very neutral, extended and full with no digititus. Think of good vinyl playback. If that is what you are looking for, you might want to go the TRL."
Another comment on this player:
"I earlier owned TRL moddded Sony SACD2000ES - which replaced a more expensive Arcam CD192 Player - earlier I had Bel Canto DAC2. TRL Sony 2000ES was better in all areas than my previous digital play back. I had a fellow audiogon member come to my apartment to pick a couple of items he wanted to buy from me. After listening to my system - he said my system sounded better than his much more expensive system - which included a used CD player for which he paid $3000."

Note: This mod has been done by the highly regarded Tube Research Lab (TRL, makers of the highly regarded Samson monoblocks and Dude preamp), BUT this is not a tube mod. No tubes are in the unit. This does not include their battery power mod.
