Modwright Sony ES9000 vs. Lector 7P


Looks like this is my short list for a CD player upgrade in the $3000 range constraint. Any thoughts?

I already own the unmodified ES9000 and would go for the full Absolute truth mod if that's the direction I select.

Thanks in advance.

I own a Lector player and I can attest to it's wonderful sound. In it's stock form it handily beats the MSB reference cd station III. I had both on hand and the Lector is definitely more musical and involving. It is the most analog sounding player I've auditioned. If you do a bit of tube rolling it can move to a whole new level. I do not use the stock tubes as the tubes I selected change the Lector from a very good sounding player to an amazing musical performance.
