Thanks for the heads up.  t  I just sent them an email asking about upgrades earlier today. Anyone notice a difference with the plus mod added to an existing warm mod?

I called for the price info to upgrade my Pmod to a T+mod.  Think I might give it a go.

I listened to the samples they have on their site.  Honestly, the plus mod made a greater difference to my ears than just the warm/trans/presence mods.  And, the warm/trans/presence mods already make a huge difference!  I'm saving up cash so I can do a transparent plus mod.

Emailed Oade today to see if they would Mod the new UA-5 I just bought from Cascade - here's their sales response:

I am sorry but we simply do not have enough time to take all the work
that comes our way. I wish we had enough help to be able to do the work,
but we do not. Best of luck to you !

Not sure if things will change when/if they are not as busy as they are now, but I would guess probably not. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

That was a given.
They dont do mods on outside store purchases.

Yeah, but there was some speculation that they may mod outside units since they are no longer selling them. Posted the response I got from them to end any questions whether or not they would do outside units now.

That is not the feeling I get from conversations with Doug. Specially given his current back woes.
Busman2 makes a nice mod from what I hear.

This is not a surprise.  The reason they don't mod non-Oade boxes is not that they are trying to get you to buy their box, it is that there is not enough profit margin in just the mod to justify it.  That is a true statement regardless of whether they are currently selling the box or not.

Then why will they mod previously bought mod versions of the SBM and UA-5?  If there is no profit margin in the mods, then why do they accept those previosuly mod'd units?  I do not think it is a profit motive soley.  Personally, I think they do not want to accept the responsibility of voiding a warranty when they themselves did not originally crack open the unit (meaning who knows where the thing has been and they do not want people crying foul after Oade did their part).

There's probably a bit of that, too, but the offer to re-mod is just providing good customer service to existing customers.

My question is why don't they train and hire another bench tech?  Oade obviously has the ability to expand, they have more work than they have time.  They ought to do it, make us tapers happy  8)
