Question About Mod CD Player

does anyone care to comments and share their experience on mod cd player (ie. by installing LC Audio XO3, Trichord Research Clock 4, Burson Clock etc.). I'm thinking of doing mine...btw i'm using Arcam Alpha 8...TQ in advance

Hi pocoyo,
May I know, could you make DIY modification by yourself.
I also interested mod my DVD & CD player.

I already read many mod in the net. In Singapore their popular mod is Marantz CD player. From my reading the best mod is for Clock 4 and PSU. You can read from this side:
www.referenceaudiomods.com

of course u can DIY provided u have the right equipment and knowledge..as for me i know nothing...i was hoping someone would write in and share their experience on Mod CD Player...but so far no one emerge from the shadow...

Normally we sent to Octave in PJ near AMcorp for any audio mod, but the price may be high for entry level equipment.
Anyway, they can provide most of high end part like Elna Audio & other cap, silver cable, psu, opamp & other imported part.

I read Ken in Penang doing DIY tube amp & preamp. He produce some high end product with 1/2 the price with high grade parts.

Anybody doing at home modification in Klang Valley???

i now about octave audio and i wrote to them before...actually i just want to read is there anybody out here done any Mod to CD Player and willing to share their experience..is there any significance improvement or better change the CD player rather than do any Mod..

Hi Pocoyo,

I have a mod CD63SE. It was done by a Singaporean TS Lim (DIVA amp designer). Of course there are significant improvement but the only question you have to ask yourself is it worth ? How about consider adding a tube buffer or a DAC ? At least you can sell it later if you decided to change your CD player.

yes pocoyo..i'm agree with opera.If you want mod/diy your cdplayer at least you must have a little knowledge in electronic,schematic,and function of each circuit block.Most modification are concentrate at improving the digital bit signal by upgrade clock,improving signal by changing OPAMP.For me i don't do mod. to my cd player because it still functioning good,i just add external DAC and buffer that all.From this DAC(DIY) i can change type of OPAMP.From that i know the best OPAMP right now are from Analog Device.

hello gengs...for whom that dont know knowledge bout upgrading..dont simply ask the technician..im also dont know head to tail bout upgrading..i already ask somebody to upgrade my marantz CD17..full modified the coz near RM2.2k..im shock!! to hear that and one more thing if anything simple mistake happen..hahhaha tong sampah tunggu laa...better i let go my marantz n buy a new good player..now plenty of good player in the market-used or new...the cd player from china also unbelievable!!!
