3. (this one is a little crazy) anyone who can tell me if I was to open up the 002r what to look for in order to confirm that all the modifications have been done. |

I've heard people say it's a lot bigger difference when comparing multiple tracks too, compared with just a single track or two. And of course whether it was tracked before or after the mod. FWIW I just got mine back from getting the mod done a few weeks ago. I also wanted and was hoping for an extreme night and day difference and when I first opened it and got it running I sorta just went "....huh."

I sent off for modification a while ago:
If you cannot immediately hear the difference, even in monitoring (D/A) a previously tracked mix, you need to get your ears checked, you may have damage, no offense. Many people are putting the horse before the cart these days. If your ears & room aren't developed enough to hear improved conversion and analog staging, then you don't need it yet. Spend the money where you will hear a difference until you can develop the ability to discern more. Listening is something that you can develop. Not everyone is born with golden ears.
When they perform the modification they replace the clock and the analog stages. Open it up and take a look at the analog inputs and outputs. They are all completely replaced. To suggest that BLA is not even performing the modification and charging you for it on a public forum is pretty slanderous, and wildly unnecessary. Did you even bother to contact BLA with your questions before coming here?
Again, the difference in the unit after the mod is very, very apparent. No scientific testing is needed. It is immediately apparent if your monitoring and room are in order.
