| Modwright Oppo 105 - Upgrade Power Supply Tubes? An extremely musical combination that I am now using (in my Modwright Oppo-95) is a pair of shorty, chrome dome Sylvania 6SN7Gs (w/ black base, green lettering), and an RCA 5R4GY. Very natural sounding across the board, with a great soundstage, an... | |
| Modwright Oppo 105 - Upgrade Power Supply Tubes? I also run the RCA grey glass vt-231/6sn7GTs on my Modwright Oppo-95. They do not sound good with a Mullard 5AR4 (I have a date code F31 Mullard).... IMO, way too much of a good thing, to a point where it sounds dull and slow.The Genalex Gold Lion... | |
| Preamp for Art Jota As I mentioned above, the Jota is very happy with a tubed preamp in front of it. I have been through the whole tube rolling exercises with it while having the LDR passive in front, and it sounded really good, but I felt I was missing something. My... | |
| Marantz CD6005,SA8004 or Oppo 105? Just get a cheap 7" Haier LCD monitor for eBay (or something equivalent) and connect to the Oppo via a simple and cheap composite video cable. You can use he remote, but you will need to see what you are selecting. This works well for me. | |
| Preamp for Art Jota Funny that this post just came upÂ…. I was in the same boat with my lovely Art Audio Jota. While it sounded great with a passive in front of it (a Lighter Note LDR volume attenuator), I also felt I was missing a little bloom and naturalness too tha... | |
| Eggleston spkr owners - which SS or hybrid amp ... When I owned the Andra IIs, then the Andra Is, a BAT VK-500 with the BAT PAK and two DCCA Extreme Ref power cables really made great music together. Ultimately though, I prefered tubed amps... | |
| integrated for zu definition 3 It does help Morgan, thx very much! I need to find a Torii III to put against my Jota. That will be a highly interesting and entertaining project... | |
| integrated for zu definition 3 Hey Morgan, what are your thoughts / comparison of the Torii on your Zu speakers vs. the Art Audio? I currently have the Art Audio Jota HC (running VV32B tubes) that is a great amp with my Zu Essence, but I am really interested in trying a Torii b... | |
| What time do you wear? Still wearing my auto-winding Omega Seamaster Pro Chronometer.. Love it! It's been over 8 years, and it has never left my wrist! | |

| Most helpful audio companies In no particular order.... Modwright, Art Audio, DCCA, and Audio Surroundings. | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Hey Morgan, I did not have the amps side by side, and there was a two month gap between the PX-25 leaving and Jota HC arriving. But from memory, the biggest difference I can remember is the PX-25 being slightly warmer and fuller, while the Jota is... | |
| The downward spiral..... Inna, I don't disagree... my comments earlier referred to the fact that there is a lot of great, affordably priced gear out there now; there are many more choices now for "audiophiles on a budget" to build great systems. | |
| The downward spiral..... Inna, not so sure about the cheap boom boxes, but yes it is about the music, and many times I find myself simply enjoying my Ipod with UE Triple.Fi 10 earphones! Keep it simple! |
