| from ARC to Pass ? If you can try it first do, if that is not an option go ahead and buy it but keep your ARC pieces so you can compare and sell off what you don't like because it could be a combination of the two brands which do work well together. I have a Pass X2... | |
| Speaker Cable trial Another very satisfied customer. Using double shotgun along with Pauls jumpers with his single and balanced IC's throughout. No desire to switch. I wish Paul would build me a phono cable for my TT but he won't. The IC's are very good as well; espe... | |
| Consideration of amp change Wish one could edit their text after posting. Old eyes and fat fingers on an iPhone. Third time on spelling - ModWright. | |

| New amp for Vandersteen 2CE Once owned a pair of 2CE's and should have kept them. I had the beige socks which looked nice... also had the Sound Anchor stands which are a must. All the amps you mentioned are good amps and I've heard them all except the Odyssey. I wouldn't spe... | |
| Suggest affordable cable options I use Clear Days exclusively and they are not bright at all; revealing yes but not at all bright, edgy or fatiguing. I took my double shotguns and IC's to a local shop to let them hear them which they know Paul only sells directly. Funny thing is ... | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube David12, the MW LS36.5 can be upgraded to the two box DM here in The States. It has to be sent in to ModWright as it is an extensive procedure. Unless something has changed I know Dan does offer it as I spoke with him on the phone when I ordered ... | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube My last post started to response to maplegrovemusic post above | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube Agree, but who said one is better than the other? Isn't everyone just stating what they have or have experience with? No doubt when you start spending this kind of money there are many great SS preamps. I came real close to buying a Pass XP10 whic... | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube ModWright LS100 is definitely not a balanced preamp. The LS 36.5 is balanced; not a balanced circuit but Dan uses output transformer to convert to a balanced signal; just his way of doing the same thing. The reason I went from a SWL 9.0 SE was bec... | |
| Hafler vs Parasound Agree with slaw.Not sure if you're using both sets of speakers on the front at the same time and if so... Why? Also don't think they require that much power to start with.Pro amps for home use are harsh sounding. I'd stay clear. Musical Concept mo... | |
| Consideration of amp change Meant ModWrigt... not MidWright | |
| Consideration of amp change I never felt my Centaurs were that hard to drive like the big ribbon Apogees; the Slant 6's should be the same. I'd read up on a Rogue or other tube integrated pieces. When I was using my ARC 100.2 on my Centaurs I was using a MidWright SWL 9.0 SE... | |
| Consideration of amp change I had a pair of Apogee Centaurs which I think the Slant 6's would be similar to. I'd second the ModWright. At the time the best sound I got out of my Apogees was with a ARC 100.2 over some Levinsons and Krell's I tried at the time which were too a... | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube Definitely consider the ModWright LS36.5 DM. I have a recent LS36.5 and couldn't be happier. After some tube upgrades; Synergetic Black fuse, WyWires PC and Daedalus DiD's I'm not in such a hurry to send it in for the DM power supply upgrade. It's... |
