You sure will

I'm going to be busy soon as I should received the PSU at the same as my first care package from Ivan.

I've also ordered a linear psu for my mac mini and I'm thinking of modding it to remove the fan.

Fun times ahead

Dear Georges,
How are you doing ?
Here there is some other kind of modification. A guy in Bangkok replace caps in std machine with premium grade caps. From his post, original caps value were way off.
I did it on Pioneer LX88 too.

just look the picture, the texts are mostly he convincing us to use his service. But I
believe that it will be an improvement too.
I guess SMP may be suitable for video , even Oppo 105/95 keep that SMP for
video/digital board, the linear one is added for premium analog board only.

I've heard a lot of positive from improving the PSU of the Oppo. I'll post some feedback here when I receive it.

I've ordered mine from oppomod.com

i checked it out but they lost me with this "with 100 hours burn-in its true ability will come out."

Dear Toga,

I'm very well and you? I've been very busy lately and I'm not here as much as I used to.

I can't see the pictures at work and I'll have a look when I get home.

I only use the digital module of the Oppo and not the analog board but I could see a difference in picture quality after installing the LMP. Additionally, SMP reinject a lot of noise into the electric grid and the whole system benefits from removing SMP.

I noticed a change in the mac mini as well by switching to a linear power supply. In the scheme of our system, it's a very cost-effective upgrade and it's easy to do.

Georges, I have been busy too. But generally fine, thanks.

Recently I have upgraded my BD Player to Pioneer LX88, the Oppo 93 will serve to play some BD discs only, so
No modificatio needed for Oppo for now.

Hi Georges, good to hear the improvements from the power supply. I may
be interested in the mods for my Oppo. I'm curious, didn't you go for the
clock module mod? The low jitter should be another big improvement for
both the audio and the video.

I didn't go for it only because I don't have the soldering skills to install it and I don't have anyone near me that could do it. I felt the PSU was already a sufficient improvement.
