I was forced due to medical bills to sell my Linn sondk CD12 player. I longed to own that player for over 3 years since I first heard it in my system one evening. Last year I had the opportunity to buy one and it was everything I had hope for.
Well, while searching of what I thought would be a "poor" substitute for my Linn, a friend lent me his Modwright Sony DVP NS999es with all the mods (except the latest clock mod), and I was simply blown away. This player kept me up night after night listening to CD after CD, not to mention SACD's which my beloved Linn didn'ty play.
I immeidately found a unit for sale on AudioGon and have sent it to Modwright to have all the mods done. I have owned the dcs Elgar, Spectral 2000/3000 combo, Ayre CX7, and Lindd CD12 and I do not hesitate to state that what i am experiencing right now through my friends Modwright/Sony 999es (he isn't getting back unitl my shows up!) is as muscially enjoyable as I can remember. Is it the most accurate? What is accurate? All I know is that after 30+ years for following the Wholly Grail of audio, I've come to the conclusion that one should pay attention to often his toe is tapping!
