Thanks. That’s an eye opener and food for thought. Hoping some Modwright owners, or at least some owners of gear with tubed power supplies, will chime in to give their perspective. I owned a MW Oppo 83 and still have a Pioneer BD player that was the immediate predecessor of the LX800. Not really the same as what’s in your review, and the Oppo is long gone, so I’ll abstain from commenting on their relative pros and cons.
Objective Review of the ModWright Pioneer LX800
Earlier, I promised to share an objective review of the ModWright modified LX800 BDP Blu-ray player I ordered from ModWright Company owner, Daniel Wright. After a couple of months search, I had a review commissioned with David Mackinnon. He and his team have done over 450 reviews of audio gear.
The MW unit is compared with an original brand new LX800 unit.
And with another upgrader, The Upgrade Company. The review is done and I am
very pleased to make a copy available here. I hope you find all the information
here useful to your future decision-making around upgrading. I specifically
asked for the section explaining measurements from David. It’s intended to be
educational and I hope you find it helpful.
My sincere thanks go to the David MacKinnon for his patience and persistence.
