Definition of "too Hi-Fi"
THere is no such thing as too hifi. By bringing up such a term shows just how much snake oil and hype there is in the audiio world. At tkmes I feel like its the 1970's all over again when i hear certain equipment. The names labs use with all the l... 
Mods in Tube players: list in order
Thanks Tvad, I'll look at the 3 sites for mods. Yes tweaks are another issue. The caps I was refering to are Mundorfs at $50 each. I may go with it. I'll keep you guys posted on the mods I make. 
Mods in Tube players: list in order
From what i'm gathering from the local tech guy here in Baton rouge, he feels 1) opamps: easy to change/pop out, low cost/$25 each, and make the most significant difference. I agree, it has made the most difference. 2)Tube roll. Not so easy, as e... 
MHZS Audio CD-66, Looks nice but is it any good ?
I failed to mention the audiogon member who sold me the 15 mentioned he regrets selling it, just after i sent him payment. If he could only hear the player now, he'd really know his mistake. As it come awefully close to the 17's performance. The o...

Kevin i bought a cayin 15 tube player from an audiogon member 2 yrs ago. Has 2 6922's. he had Amperex BB's in it , one blew recently. I'm looking to replace it. The other day i had the opamps replced and madea significant improvement. So all in al... 
MHZS Audio CD-66, Looks nice but is it any good ?
Thanks. Not sure specificly you mean by modifying power supply. The Cayin offers 2 high quality power supplies. But i do recall my tech guy mentioning something about 'buffers" if this is what you mean. He also did not highly recommend changing th...

Vince interesting the mods you made. I just had my cayin 17 opamps changed by a local tech guy. And it has made a significant improvement over what was out of the box great player. So changing opamsp is easy(they pop out) and highly recommended. N... 
Newbie to audio
I think Tannoy's will take a tube ampMy highest recommend, though have not haerd it is the Ming Da KT90 tube amp, goes for 1K, a seller here is offering the unit. I have a KT9 tube amp and feel its a good investment. 
Integrated + CD for Tyler Linbrook Super Tower?
Dma not sure of your budget. My recommends would be Newbee's mention of raysonic or any other chinese import with tube output. I believe the Raysonic like my Cayin 17 has a quad of 6922's. This will give musicality to your Tylers. I also had a loc... 
Musical Concepts Modifications
I just had my Cayin 15 and Cayin 17 upgraded by a local tech guy here in BR. He changed the opamps on both with STUNNING results. Highly recommended on that tweak. Cost me like 100 each player. 
Integrated + CD for Tyler Linbrook Super Tower?
Nice spaekers, congrats!I have a MTM design with the Seas drivers, so its close to the Tyler's MMTMMI'm running a Jadis Orch Refer, which is nice but lacks the higher resolution/power of its 2 bigger brothers , the DA30 (I think its been delted fr... 
It's a year later...
Metralla has a good point. Some of these posts have to be decoded. Like a new topic in cdp, the guy calls it a MZH. "hows the new MZH player?"What does MZH stand for? Its all like some secret codes :-) 
What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
Take a look at Tyler's Woodmere. Tell us what you think. 
The under 10K speaker
Desal, look at tyler's home demo link on his site. There are several Tyler owners in south california, and if you write Ty, I'm sure he knows of others, who possibly live closer to you, and that are not on that list that may let you audition their...
