The perils of modifying gear
I have done many modifications to amps, cdp's and power supplies over the years. It can become addictive and the need for the next fix overwhelming.
It is hard to not think every mod is an improvement, often putting things back to stock is the only way to prove to yourself that you are not imaging things.
Most mods bring forth extra musical detail and going down that road can bring disappointment. All that detail has to be processed by the brain leading to listener fatigue and ultimately the system gets played less. I have been guilty of this and it is a relief to finally take a step back and realise what has been going on. When the system "disappears" you know you have cracked it.
What are the collectives view on this ?
