Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units

Oddly, there are currently (as I type this) 5 modwright oppo 105 units for sale to just one stock oppo 105. Seems odd as there has to be a ton more stock 105 units to the modwright 105's that have been produced.

I have a oppo 103d and have looked at getting another unit thats been modded but that brings in red flags on all the modwrights being dumped like meeting a women thats been divorced 5 times!

Are these modwrights overpriced units? Something wrong with bringing in the tubes???

I never see other modded oppos for sale like an evs or others which tells me the owners like them.

I know its hard to decide which mod to put in your oppo as you cannot demo them first so you can ONLY go by reviews and comments.

Question...which mod do you take you chance on with your stock oppo player?

Tubegroover, I may need to look at this modwright mod as a possibility as I cant ignore all the love. I have been impressed with what I heard about EVS also and Ric seems like a decent guy to work with.

It would be fun to get some agonners together with the oppo players modded by different companys to have an audio shootout which is the part of audio I enjoy.

The guys talking about 4k players maybe correct. I did some more heavy digging on the oppo players and I found something interesting. One post had a guy who emailed oppo to find out when a 4k player is due out. Oppo responded back to him and wrote that one should be out late 2016 or early 2017. So about a year to year and half. I am not sure if I would sell a current player yet but who knows.

Henrycai, I understand what your saying as I am quite anal most of what I buy, but my thriftiness sometimes wins out. $2000 plus dollars is a nice savings!

I bought an Oppo 105D with the ModWright modifications.  Got it used for $1,800, right here on Audiogon.  It sounds far better than any other CD player I have ever had... or heard in an audio showroom.  Not the same detail or soundstage as my RP10, but then again, I don't have to get up every 18 minutes to change sides, either.  No regrets here.
