Accurate is not always the best, my TACT room correction sounds absolutley lousy when it does its thing and "flateens" the room/speaker interface If you do not apply a preference curve it's unlistenable....thats why TACT allow 10 curves as presets Colouration is personal preference and that is inviolate. No mmatter how I aclimatise my ears , they arent going to be happy with the sounds as I have heard what sounds better to me. If your do it all front end can be modded for 1600 and it makes one happy, its a relatively small price in terms of high end audio , a transport and DAC can cost many times more than a modded transporter. High end audio is all relative and if one has a serious system, then the cost of the mod is pretty minimal. I have only one misgiving with mods and that is if they are not reversible and thats why I would probably personally go for a valve pre if I wanted the valve sound. I must say , I committed the cardinal sin re Hifi with the transporter , I bought it unauditioned in my system , so essentially I took a $2000 risk...I cant return it if I dont like it. I think thats what folk who have their unit modded do , take a $1600 risk.
