This is an appropriate analogy. There is much voodoo in the car-modding circle as well. If I added every bolt-on, or pour-in product that claims to improve milage and boost performance, I'd be faster than an Indy car, and would only have to stop at gas stations to take excess fuel OUT of my gas tank. ;). I'm sure that many of the modders here do make genuine improvements in the SB ... and I'm just as sure that many of them don't. You can only make an inital guess by looking at published data (if any), and then taking the plunge and listening to your modded box after the fact. Hopefully, the modder was honest and competent, and you got a better sounding box. Only you can decide that for yourself ... and whether it was worth the expense. Me? I'll keep my SB3 like I keep my car ... bone-stock. -- jeffluckett ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffluckett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
