He is correct. I must say like it or not, this mod does nothing but bring up the gain in the front end of the radio where you don't want it and it's still a bipolar transistor. For parts changers to feel that they have accomplished something, it is a free country, so go for it. However, for true receiver performance this does nothing "real" at best, and at worst, you have modified a circuit without making other necessary changes and brought up gain once again in a stage that already has too much.
