Modwright, Exemplar, APL? I'm thinking of upgrading to the modwright Sony 999es. On a dollar basis you can pick up the Sony for $500 and get the full mod from Dan for $2,100. I'm not interested in DVD-A so the Denon 3900 isn't a requirement (unless it sounds so much better). It's always difficult to compare so I was interested in any feedback on the Sony/Modwright combination. I have some info from the threads but am always looking for more recent comments. Thanks.
APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01?
I currently have Krell KPS-28c cd player ($8500). I am thinking about upgrading in the near future. Please help me decide which player – most important for me is “red book” format. The rest of my gears are Krell KCT pre-amp ($9000), Krell 400cx amp ($10500) and Wilson Audio Sophia ($11500). Following are possible players in random order:
Musical Fidelity KW SACD - $7,000.00
Krell CD/SACD – to be released soon (because of CAST) - $?
ESOTERIC X-01 SACD/CD - $13,00.00
APL 3910 - $5000.00
Exemplar 3910- $4000.00
Will I be down grading instead of upgrading with any of the above player?
Thanks in advance for your input
