Arcam Audio Modification in UK

[Mark Antony]

Hi

Does anybody know of a good reputable company in the UK that does audio enhancements - by replacing components for an Arcam FMJ DVD27 or a Denon 5900, similar to the upgrades offered by Underwood's in the USA?

It seem's a shame to send a player half way round the world if there is a local alternative - and if I buy a new 5900 from underwoods it won't be able to play all my region 2/4 discs as it'll be set to region 1.

Thanks for your help

Mark,
The FMJ27 is multi region with a simple handset hack, is that what your question is asking?

Nope, my unit is multi-region, but was trying to find out about audio upgrades, as the arcam is good but could be better by replacing certain parts such as Underwood's do in the US for Denon gear amongst others - http://www.underwoodhifi.com/mod_denon.html

Omiga audio does that kind of thing too, I think...

I did stick a layer of Stillpoints ERS RF absortion under the lid of my FMJ DV27 + AudioPrism Isobearings supports, with some improvement, also, a better powercord, I use VDH Mainsstream, improves bass and dynamics noticeably...

What makes you role your eyes, are omiga audio not very good, where are they based if they are ok?

I have updated the power cord and the player is on a lump of granite - but changing small basic components - such as underwoods do, should have a more pronounced impact!

I role my eyes because I am not sure they do it to the general public, but it wont hurt to e-mail them, they are in or around London...

They change clock, power supply, the lot, and I know they have done it to a DV27, even sujjested me to do it along with ERS, but I am happy with my minor tweaks...
