    uk modding service

    Hi

    Are there any sites in the uk along the line of Bolder cables company or Red Wine Audio that offer modding services for sb3s? Any google searches generally tend to bring up american sites and reviews.

    Good question.

    If there are none at the moment I am sure there will be soon.

    Patrick Dixon posts here quite frequently. I dont think his offer could be described as a modding service as it is a "new" piece based on the SB. Its a fine piece of kit for those who like me were considering the DAC 1 or equivalent.

    I sent mine to Bolder, they contacted me when the unit was ready to be modded and had it back to me quickly, from me sending it to getting back took about 2-3 weeks, but well worth it.
    P&P about £40 but i did send 2 units.

    I sent 2 SB's, 1 had full analogue mod, the other full analogue and digital.
    The digital mod has not been tested yet, the analogue is awesome.
    I sent via Royal mail 3-5days to US, 15-20 quid

    You don't need to send it straight away, Wayne contacts you when you should ship it.
    I had to wait around 6-7 weeks before i shipped and i was without SB for 2-3, which is still along time to be without the SB, having to get out of my seat to put CD's on was a pain though.
