I just received in the mail a catalog from a company called "Audio Advisor".
 They offer to do modificaions and upgrades to amps (i own an Adcom 545).
 The catalog states they do this by increasing the sound range and replacing
 some factory hardware with their own (capacitors, wiring, etc).
I am very interested in this. But... is this legit??? Do these modifications
 improve the sound of your amp? Is this a rip-off? Has anyone ever had this
 done to their amp? What was the result? Are there other companies that offer
 this service, but are better?
Anyone with knowledge or experience about this, I would really like to hear
 from. I would hate to send my amp to them and have it come back sounding worse
 or worse not come back at all. Please reply. Thank You!
