Get the full whiz-bang upgrade and you have turned a $800.00 player into a $4000.00 one!

They appear to have S-oil for everything! But I should not be suprised, after all, they are a Bybee product outlet!

I didn't know the modded players were snake oil, but I'm not surpirsed.

watch it, we could soon be debunking the effects of beer-massaging the trees your speaker cabinets are made from, a-la kobe beef.

Hot topic at Audio Asylum

Just on a hunch I checked over at the audio asylum and sure enough it is a hot topic over there. Not everyone is ready to call it snake oil (not surprising there). Too me you could take the 500 and get seats at several concerts and listen to the music as the artists intended, but then you would have to go outside, be around people, couldn't talk about how tubes sound better than solid state, etc.
