I've gotten into some argument over opamps with him... he tends to believe that his (very high-priced for what they are) mods, which almost always involved swapping out proper audio opamps for ultra-high-speed video ones, will ALWAYS cause a benefit. Over at PSW I once suggested to him that there had to be some cases at least where his mods (often not tried previously until someone sends him a particular piece of gear) would simply cause a bit of a sideways-shift in sound rather than up in quality, and perhaps even in some cases make things worse because of the circuit design. He didn't like that one bit.
He also thinks that a person can make a top-notch DAC or ADC using a manufacturer eval board and swapping out opamps. This can't be true because my EM-U 1212m is based rather strictly on the reference design of the top-end Crystal and AD chips, but it doesn't compete with the big boys even though it is clean, and didn't improve much after swapping opamps. He doesn't take into consideration things like clock jitter and analog design... just the parts.
So he is a very knowlegable fellow and can mod stuff way more reliably than a person like me, but like the others here I really believe his philosophy is flawed. I'm not sure how he believed that slew rate is the ultimate performance measurement.
