ya i'm pretty sure brian is right, doug only mods the ones he sells. here's the prices doug gave me incase anybody is thinking about getting one...i know i am
:
Stock UA-5 $275
w/Digi-Out Mod $350
w/Warm Mod $500
w/Presence Mod $550
doug also described the diff. in the presence and warm mod.:
"The easiest way to describe it is that the warm mod sounds more like tube gear, while the presence mod is more like transistor gear. If you like really bright sounding recordings then the presence mod may be preferable. If you like a BIG sound with plenty of low end character then the warm mod may be better."
from everything i've heard the warm mod is the way to go. as soon as i get a little more cash i'm gonna buy a warm mod. ua-5 and see how it stands up to my mp-2.
peace,
Justin
