Mine has all the dogbreath mods and then some.
Reading through that site, they look easy to do and I'm getting psyched to tear one apart and do the cosmetic mods as well.
just bought a 5501 for 8 bucks. cheap fun. What about a 101? Will that work? NOT a 1001 a "101"
OK, so now I'm gonna mess that all up by gushing *just a little*...
Last night I popped Pearl Jam's "No Code" into this little grey plastic curiosity.
Wow. This time I really did a double-take. I turned off the left hemisphere and sank into the sound and I found myself in a happy, familiar place very near fair Analogia. I'm sure it says something about the quality of the recording and production of the CD etc. But this synergy just killed it.

I almost
(but *not quite*)
forgot
it was a CD.
So I guess I'm buying more CDs now.
PS. Oh, and my Grados arrived yesterday too.
Ok! It arrived very well packed by goodwill but missing the power supply. Is there a brick involved or just one of those a/c cords with the connector on the end? I have like 5 of those.
Going to plug it into the Yamaha CR 2020 and compare it to the Sony DVP-S7700 for fun.
Get one of these... Then use a Boutique Power Cable
Few people online say it really matters for better S/Q - I have 2 adapters coming from China. We'll see
Looks like it will be after the weekend. The stupid thing didn't come with the a/v cable.
No problem. Got it on Amazon it arrives in two days. In the meantime I will get the DVP-S7000 (not 7700, oops) installed in the system and start listening to it. Until now it's been the garage player (literally cost 7 bucks at the red white and blue thrift store!)
Yeah, you will need that. Unless you want to start modding out of the gate.
