Emperical Audio Mods for Parasound Halo JC-1'S

Bob,
I did not say or state that I wanted state-of-the art sound!
I simply wanted to know if anyone out there has had their JC-1's modded by Empirical Audio, and wanted to know what the results were. Their ad claims dramatic improvements from their mods being done, and I just wanted to know how accurate their ad was.
I am not willing or ready to spend $1,800.00 on mods to my JC-1's. I simply wanted peoples opinions on these mods, just in case I might want to have some done a few years down the road.

Bob, whoa...ease up big guy. I don't think he was implying anything negative about the JC-1's. As I read his post he was simply inquiring if the Empirical Audio mods were worth the money. Asking that question doesn't mean he was slamming the JC-1's or looking for "state-of-the-art". It seems his post was one of curiosity more than implication.

Bob -
The large Nichicon filter capacitors are not swapped-out. Only the smaller ones. I like to use Nichicons for filtering as well, although I'm not in love with the Muse series.

These monoblocks gathered dust for over a year while I used another amp for my reference. With the mods, they are once again my reference.

Thank you Fiddler!
No, I was in no way slamming the JC-1's.They are exceptional amps! Just read my review of them. I am just a curious person like any audiophile is, especially when it comes to after-market mods.
I cannot afford to have my JC-1's modded, and do not plan to any time soon. I am VERY HAPPY with their sound as is!
But a few years down the road...you never know.
And I know darn well that TRUE "state-of-the-art" sound is currently unobtainable at any price!
I bought a modded Pioneer DV-47Ai universal disc player from a guy that had been HIGHLY MODIFIED by Rick Shultz at EVS, and was shocked at the improvement over the stock unit!
That is one of the reasons I am always curious about after-market mods.
Bob, if I offended you in any way at all, I'm sorry, and I apologize. I respect your work, products, and hearing abilities VERY MUCH! I also have the utmost respect for John Curl and Carl Thompson.

Something that has to be taken into consideration when modding any
unit is that the original sonic characteristics of the piece will change to
some degree, which means descriptions of sound qualities in reviews
may or may not apply after the modification. Not to speak for Bob
Crump, but this may be a factor in the tone of his earlier post.
