My fully modded (analog/digital)platinum Sonicap upgrade SB3 will be delivered any day now. I did not go for the Bybees. Total cost = $475 + shipping. I have a Bolder modded Power One power supply ($2.50 + $100 for mods). I built my own power cord for the SB3 using silver wire. My total expenses will be ~$600. While the SQ might not be quite as good as a stock TP it will be close enough for me and this difference might not be audible to most people in an average system. OTOH sound quality is somewhat a matter of taste and some might actually prefer the SQ of the modded SB. Tom did not say the the SQ of the TP was a slam dunk but the differences were subtle and others might come to a different conclusion.
