Who Does the Best Mods on CD Players

I own a Pioneer PD-75 player. Am considering spending a couple hundred or so on a mod since I can't afford to buy the player of my dreams. Any opinions about who out there does the best job modding players - for example John Hillig of Musical Concepts or Stan Warren, etc.? Are these mods worth the money? Do they really improve the sound of the player? Any advice is very much appreciated.

I was very happy with the mods performed by Musical Concepts on my Pioneer DVD/CD player. I highly recommend their work.

Sean's advice sounds solid. I'd include Dan Wright of ModWright (www.modwright.com) in the list of people to talk to. He modified my CAL Delta with excellent results.

I would highly recommend "modwright" (www.modwright.com).
I have a Sony 333es which was modified by him and have been very satisfied with it. He was very easy to work with and very good about prompt communication. If I am in the market again, he will be at the top of my list.

I would echo Sean's comments. It isn't so much as _who's_ the best, as it is who's the best FOR YOU! Call several modders and discuss with them what you have, what you want, and what you expect. Then listen to their comments and get few for whose mods would be the best match for you. The modders will probably be straight up with you as to is what mods they provide are a match for you.
