Ahhh!......"Come And Get It "
Bad English did "Price of Love".
OK, a grand is a lot of money, too rich for my blood. But it's supposed to be an outstanding tuner. and look at what Magnum Dynalab's sell for.

Hey Louie - didn't you once have an Accuphase tuna?
T-109 Mods???
What mods did you have done, how well did they work, and who did them? I have a T-109V.

Yep. T-100. Got it at GW for $20. Like new, not a scratch on it, everything worked. Kept it for a couple months, sold it on "a popular auction site" for a small ****-ton.
I was very tempted to keep it, but really didn't have anything to match it, and was afraid that if I did keep it, instead of collecting several hundred dollars on it, I'd spend a few grand to find equipment worthy of sharing rack space with it.
A nice man in TX bought it and is quite pleased with it.

well, i never heard this one stock, so, i can't compare to stock. but, i know of someone who *did* use his stock t109 before sending it to joseph chow at components plus usa. he posted his comments here:Negotiableterms said:

read the 1st "words of praise" by joebone. i have had a few emails w/joe, before i had gotten my t109. the reason i never heard mine stock, was cuz it was a japan-spec tuna, when i got it - the only reason i could afford it!
japan spec means a tuning band from 76-90, instead of 88-108. joseph, w/friends in japan, (he used to be a kenwood tuner engineer), was the only tuner guy i know of, that was able to source the parts to do the conwersion. he also had to change the woltage from 100vac to 120vac. mods included better wiring, better caps, & replacement of all op-amps w/burr-brown opa627's. of course, a complete alignment was done.it *is* a nice sounding tuna - certainly my best, if only by a whisker. the soundstaging of this baby is ever-so-slightly wider than my modded hk citation 18's, and modded heathkit aj1600, w/everything else being equal. (these modded tunas are a freaking bargain, imo.) you would *never* be able to distinguish the difference unless doing a direct a-b comparison.
not sure i will keep the t109 - it's yust too much money sitting there on the shelf. but it *is* my best, so i should keep it for that reason alone, no?
but, this may change, ya never know. joseph chow has said he prefers the older analog t100 to the later accuphase digitals. and, i yust nabbed a t100 on ebay for <$500, (certainly a more sane price that >$1k), which has been freshly serviced. (but no mods.) looking forward to making this comparison. :>)doug s.
