    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    So you DO think audio mods significantly change stuff?

    I found that the factory cabinet woofer speakers just don't produce enough bass. They simply are too small of a magnet which directly influences how much air the cone can move. As far back as Funhouse 1990, and up through modern Sterns, they all seem to sound a click or two better with a simple cabinet replacement of the 8-inch speaker. The rest of modding of your speakers, adding external subs, backbox speakers, amplifiers, etc is all based on what you are trying to do and personal taste. I don't like adding anything external to a pinball machine, so it limits me to in-cabinet 'pin for pin' mods.

    Quoted from Gorgar666:

    LED Bulbs, worse Mod Ever.

    I am assuming that you are kidding or mean it in a less broad way. For many older titles, part of the ambience is the incandescent bulb glow. (Funhouse for example). For some titles LEDs can really make the title pop in a great way. (I have a 2006 PotC with LEDs now installed and it makes all the difference in feeling like a modern machine). That said, I have seen SO MANY machines with poor LED conversions that look horrific. And don't forget the older machine matrix bulb issues with ghosting for LEDs.

    In the end, I guess this one is a matter of taste...
