JFZ...I am curious to know if you had listened to your 105 prior to having Dan modify the unit. If so, how much better is the upgrade musically etc??? This is a big jump in $$$...While I own a 105 and LOVE IT, I am cuirous to know some others feelings about this upgrade and its worth...Now I do own one of Dan's first units ..the SWL 9.0 and did have that upgraded with the rectified power supply etc and once again completely HAPPY not only with the end result but also with Modwright and Dan and his team. This is a great company and they have a great customer relationship with each of us...Give me some feedback on the 105 upgrade, thanks...
Modwright Oppo 105
I received my Modwright Oppo 105 today. It sounds good, but is relatively lean - and not very extended - in the bass. The sound overall is missing a fullness and organic quality that I associate with tubes as well. I have been using an Exemplar modified Denon 3910 for years, and so far I prefer it. Naturally, I am quite surprised and disappointed so far. I will be patient and put more hours on it, of course. I am very familiar with "break-in." Dan burned it in for 72 hours or more, but I have only put another 5 hours or so on it so far.
Has anyone else had this reaction/experience? Maybe it is the Electro-Harmonix tubes, and I need to try something else? I am also wondering about Dan's use of silver wiring. Thanks for any thoughts you have.
