"Own the very best!"

   Why spend your hard earned money on a new model that'll only be incrementally better when you get it home?  You've been wasting your money on very tiny improvements.

Our real customer testimonials speak volumes of what we have to offer you.  Don't fall for the big magazine hype "Class A Rated", "Editor's Choice", etc.  Lots of "reviewers" have rooms full of free gear & cabling from leading manufacturers. Trust your own ears.  The Upgrade Company provides better sound for you then stock factory models.  Manufacturer's are profiteering off consumers all the time.

Former top of the line models, even going back 5 years,  once upgraded by The Upgrade Company, easily surpass present-day Class A rated models touted in magazines.  This is simply because high-end audio manufacturers still cannot remain profitable using the highest-technology and highest performing electronic parts throughout their models due to cost, supply, and time to manufacture constraints.   They're getting cheaper and cheaper all the time inside.

Why continue spending thousands of dollars at the stores for extremely minor incremental improvements? The Upgrade Company can expertly upgrade your existing electronics to outperform current top of the line models costing tens of thousands of dollars more.

Why not have your existing CD player, preamp or amplifier or dac upgraded instead for a HUGE leap in performance that will satisfy you for decades to come?

High-end electronic manufacturers, regardless of prestige or retail cost, use cost-cutting techniques in order to maintain their profitability in this shrinking high-end audio/video marketplace. Top of the line models costing upwards of $10,000 still contain many of the same capacitors that cheap tabletop radio's use.  It is sad but increasingly true.  You'd be shocked to learn that many top of the line supposedly cost-is-no-object preamplifiers contain 10 cent surface mount power supply capacitors.  The finest power supply capacitors available today for example are too expensive for manufacturers to profit from. This kills their performance.

The Upgrade Company's "house sound" has been time-tested and judged by over one thousand high-end audio consumers to be "State of the Art".   We simply provide the type of sound listeners prefer over stock top of the line models.  Our clients become satisfied and happy with the sound we provide them.  Don't fall for the hype you read in magazines. You're wasting your money on the latest models, they're all under performers and built to a price point

The Upgrade Company has pioneered several advances that are "Trade Secret".  Our upgrades are not just "parts swapping".  Each upgrade is the result of advanced research, testing and science.  Every Signature Edition upgrade we perform.  No "modifier" who cuts, hacks and glues approaches the results The Upgrade Company provides.  There is no need to re-engineer any model.  Outfits that attempt to "re-engineer the unit" through leaving off parts,  gluing in "clock" boards and  cutting of circuit traces to install vacuum tubes have a history for reliability and substandard results.

The Signature Edition upgrade impresses immediately:  Excellent pace, rhythm and timing, superb fine detail, lots of presence, impressive dynamics, extended tight bass with spot-on weight and "slam", extended finely detailed highs and gorgeous mids.  Nothing "Hi-Fi" or "Digital" about the sound at all, simply gorgeous unexaggerated naturalness:  the music itself.

Our customers have commented after the break-in period has been completed: "the sound is now very lucid and incisive, without being thrust forward at you", "music sounds sharp & focused, yet at the same time wonderfully refined and relaxed, with excellent weight and air." "Very fluid."  "I finally sold all my LP's!"

The Signature Edition upgrade utilizes the very latest and highest quality electronic parts from around the world which are constantly being updated and decided upon after countless hours of A-B comparisons to dramatically push performance higher then previously possible.

Each model receives special attention.  All parts are expertly chosen from direct A-B comparisons to truly bring the unit up to State of the Art performance.  Each part is measured and matched, for each specific model being upgraded. Typically over 150 parts are installed.

Each circuit board is thoroughly cleaned and triple checked before it is re-installed. Each model is carefully reassembled and fully tested to spec and burned in for 24 hours or more before it is returned to the customer. Typically our turn-around time is 1-2 weeks. Each upgrade comes with our 1 year fully-transferable parts and labor warranty and our 7 Day In-Home Trial 100% Money Back Guarantee.

  The Upgrade Company auditions & tests the latest new top of the line models and performs double-blind multiple participant A-B test sessions to be sure that our claims of "State of the Art" are up to date.
