Well said. Some people just feel the need to tweak, but at the prices charged by vendors one could easily buy an entirely new component. Exorbitant to say the least.

If you have the wherewithal to do such upgrades yourself, why not? You can satisfy your curiosity without breaking the bank. Me? I think I'd screw something up inside my Denon. I'll leave it the way it is. If it ain't broke. . .
Well, at least until I'm more proficient at soldering.
