Hey. I have had my MW TP for about a month now.
I too liked, but did not love, the unmodded TP. I agree that it is a tad analytical sounding. Pretty good still, but not great.
The MW TP, however, is probably the best source I have heard. I cannot compare it to a high end TT, because I play my vinyl on a mid-fi system w/an old and mediocre TT. On my hi-fi (Aerial Model 9s, Classe Cam-350s, TP into amps w/no pre), it is just great and is dramatically better than the Classe cdp it replaced and any other cdp I have heard (w/ the possible exception of an Esoteric Universal). Except for the vinyl comparison, Orjazzm's experience is similar to mine. I also find it very real and live sounding. Details are so real that I too have been startled by something in the music.
Great product. Highly recommended.
