Hi,
I just had my Rotel RCD-1070 & DPA Enlightment DAC mod with the superclock II & better quality diodes by Leon of Soundlabs (Leon has been very helpful and knowledgeable). To say I 'm delighted with the sonic improvements is an understatement and it's only been the 3rd day with the mods. BTW the Black Gates caps are already on order from the US........
I guess I have caught the "bug" to upgrade my Pioneer DV-533k DVD player with the clock as well (LC Audio clock this time). Leon has mentioned that some of his customers who had this done to their DVD players not only notice the sonic improvement but the picture quality has improved as well!!! Just wondering what your experiences are, if any?
Thanks.

Has anyone had to have their HLD-X9 repaired yet? I finally purchased one that was in fantastic cosmetic condition. Unfortunately, it did not work when I received it, it may have been damaged during shipping from China to California. Anyway, the unit powered up using the 110v-to-100v converter but all it would do is give me a "U1" error message. The player has been with a Pioneer authorized repair facility for three weeks because Pioneer won't reply with pricing, or availability, for the laser pickup. If anyone has any constructive suggestions I'll love to hear them. I've waited and waited to finally buy the ultimate laserdisc player and now I can't even use it! POO!
This is just a follow up to my original post. I took it upon myself to contact Pioneer about ordering a laser pickup for the HLD-X9 (the NEW repair technician says that it isn't the problem anyway). I was able to purchase the item and it was at my door the next day. Unfortunately, the ORIGINAL repair techician made more money going on house calls so he wasn't working on my player at all, he just used the excuse that Pioneer wasn't responding to him, which was not true. The only reason that I wanted to post this is to note that Pioneer was VERY responsive and I am very impressed with their customer service!!! I have this whole issue resolved so I really consider the topic closed.
They put an LC Audio clock in the Meridian 800 and that did improve the audio but I did not notice any video improvement. As my previous ranting post says, the biggest video problem experienced here is poor software, or poorer than it should be.I'm VERY impressed with the work that Soundlabs Group do and am an enthusiastic supporter of their mods. My previous feeling about mods were that if the manufacturer could improve the product, they would have done so meaning mods were a waste of dollars. No more, I'm converted - I've heard the light!!!!
