THE UPGRADE COMPANY
Welcome to The Upgrade Company where we have over 26
years of experience maximizing the performance of high-end audio and video
for music and film lovers world-wide who demand the finest. The level of sheer
clarity, musicality, and enjoyment we provide our customers exceeds the bland
off-the-shelf performance from prestigious “cost-is no-object”
manufacturers.
THE BUCK STOPS HERE
Upgrading
an expensive Esoteric or similar level player will get you the finest digital
playback anywhere in the world...Guaranteed.
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. Nearly all high-end audio and
video 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 true. Many of the finest capacitors for example are too
expensive for manufacturers to employ in any of their models.
Every
$1,000 at The Upgrade Company gets you $10,000 back in performance gains.
We guarantee it. The Upgrade Company proved this at the 2007 Rocky Mountain
Audiofest Show in Denver Colorado for over 250 show-goers.
There is massive untapped potential in all high-end audio components. True
High-end expensive electronic parts are still today not employed throughout
flagship models. Upgrading a flagship model by Esoteric for example leads
to a level of performance that is unmatched by anything at any price. Our
customers are cured of their constant craving for the latest new gear because
it no longer compares with their Upgrade Company upgraded unit.
Why continue spending thousands of dollars at the stores for minor incremental
model year improvements? The Upgrade Company rebuilds your existing disc player,
amplifier, preamplifier or surround processor to outperform current top of
the line models costing tens of thousands of dollars more. We prove our “State
of the Art” claims by loaning our customers very expensive high-end
models to witness these claims first hand in their own systems. Doing so turns
skeptics into believers.
The
Upgrade Company's approach to maximizing the performance affords low-cost
players by Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Sony and others the performance of players
costing $10,000-$50,000. We guarantee it.
The Upgrade Company provides it’s customers the very finest digital
reproduction from digital software including Music Servers, (Movie Servers
soon), CD, SACD, DVD-V, DVD-A, BluRay, and HD-DVD formats by rebuilding late
model players setting a new standard for “State of the Art”.
The Upgrade Company is also factory authorized for many brands.
Please inquire for pricing whether sold stock or upgraded.

A
FEW NOTES ABOUT "MODIFYING" YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF:
The Upgrade Company has proven over many years that there is no benefit to cutting
and hacking into circuit traces or drilling holes to "modify" gear.
There is no need to re-engineer ANY model. That includes cobbling on internal
"clocks" claiming to enhance sonic performance. The net result of
adding an internal cobbled on "clock" is more noise being injected
into the circuits and other measurable sonic drawbacks such as smearing and
ringing. Any benefits others claim they hear were due to other parts and wiring
being upgraded concurrent with the addition of the expensive "clock".
Many of these so called "clocks" are either not needed or installed
incorrectly and often amount to nothing more then a fraud being perpetrated
on the public. BUYER BEWARE
The Upgrade Company achieves for you the very highest results possible by upgrading
the internal parts via our painstaking approach of choosing just the right parts
for each location within the circuit.
All manufacturers, regardless of cost or prestige today, use cost cutting techniques
and lower priced components in critical circuits.
Top of the line models costing thousands of dollars often fall short of true
State of the Art sound quality due to the cheap parts and techniques used. There
is room for massive improvement in all of your components for pennies on the
dollar when compared to selling them or trading them in to try to achieve the
level of audio or video quality you are after. High priced models do not surpass
mid-priced models which have been upgraded by The Upgrade Company.
Secondly, the DAC's, video chips, clocks and circuit engineering manufacturers
forever peddle to perpetuate the upgrade fever are not the weakest links inside,
it's the bulk of internal passive electronic parts which largely dominate the
final output quality.
The Upgrade Company is hired from time to time to repair & restore customers
gear which had been "modified" by other "businesses" who
were then unable to repair them or they had repeatedly broken down.
The bottom line on "modifying" or removing parts from the circuit:
The unit is compromised sonically and is sometimes ruined. "Modifying"
is typically not reversible and often difficult to repair. You'd be surprised
to hear how many trips "modified" gear is often back to the shop.
With upgrading, reliability is never a concern. We have zero issues with reliability.
Beware of any "modifier" who does not offer in print a true "100%
Money Back Guarantee".
Why don't they? For the simple fact they know there is better available.
PLEASE BEWARE!!!
IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A PRE-OWNED UNIT THAT THE SELLER CLAIMS HAS BEEN
UPGRADED BY "THE UPGRADE COMPANY", PLEASE CALL US DIRECTLY TO VERIFY, AND
MAKE SURE THAT YOU RECEIVE THE "STATE OF THE ART" CERTIFICATE AND OUR SALES
RECEIPT WITH OUR SERIAL NUMBER ON IT.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to heavy demand for The Upgrade Company's services, we must schedule upgrades in advance and now give RMA #'s. We are extremely busy because each upgrade takes days to complete and we do not have a full time Customer Service staff. Much of our workload is from repeat customers and referrals. Our advice is for those who have heard our work and are ready to have The Upgrade Company bring a component up to true "State of the Art," to indicate so in your telephone message or email, and we will return your call to schedule your upgrade. Our customers report to us based on their independent comparisons, that it is not possible to obtain the superior results we provide them, nor the full 7 day In-Home Money Back Guarantee we offer, anywhere else.
A NOTE ABOUT EMAILING: Many of our email responses over the past 24 months have been blocked as "SPAM". We definitely respond to each and every email at all times within 72 hours or less. We have had this policy in place for over 24 months. If you have not received an email response from us to any email, even 1, then by all means please telephone us directly at your earliest convenience. If we do not answer we are in the lab and in the workshop working hard for customers 24/7 full time even until late at night. We will call you back to keep your phone costs to a minimum.
Thank you for your continued support!
Yours Truly,
David Schulte
