As for the aesthetics, that is a personal choice. I personally prefer elegant looking components. As for sound, that is personal, too. I prefer not to void warranties, if possible, and I, along with others, strongly doubt any mod is going to match the output of a lavry, benchmark, or mytek. Those units are reasonably priced, too, for what they are. But that's me. Tom concluded that over two grand worth of mods was not quite up to Transporter status.
