UA5 mod comparison ("warm" vs. "presence/clarity")

[Brian Skalinder]

wow, those are expensive mod's

I think those costs include:

[a]  the UA5 itself
digi-out mod
[c]  either pre mod

At the very list, the $500/$550 includes [a] and [c].  BUT...this is just what I've gathered from past posts, I'm sure someone who has one will confirm or deny.

Not really.  The digi mod makes the UA5 $375, so that means the wmod is $125 and the pmod $175.

Fairly cheap, IMO.

Brian is correct, +T for his more thorough explanation

That's gotta include the price of buying the actual stock unit from Oade as well.

It's on the way to my office, I should have it mid next week...  I'm going to listen to it in full 24 bit glory, so I should be able to form a good set of opinions soon!

Thanks again, CriagT!  Your sco & mmw is burned and will be mailed Monday

sorry i should have been more clear in my post.  the warm mod is $500 that includes the ua-5, digi out mod, and the actual mod to the unit.  presence mod is $550 for the ua-5, digi out mod, and presence mod.

hope that helps!

I heard Craig's Big Wu show and on my system, I like the "presence" mod over the "warm" mod.  The presence is much more in your face and brighter.  My system tends to be a little bassy, so that's probably why this mod sounds better to me.  Honestly, I don't hear much more difference between my stock ua5 and the "warm" ua5.  There is more detail, but not much to my ears.  Again, this is on my already bassy system, so the brighter high end is nice to hear.  

I like the "warm" mod better on my headphones, though.
