| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Mitch, exactly! I joined Audiocircle this morning so I could posit the question to Dan regarding his intentions on the HAPZ1. My post hasn't been reviewed yet, but I'll let you know when he responds. He is a smart business man. He likes to hear wh... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Mitch, Sony chose not to provide inputs on their 5400ES, which one would have to consider a marketing success. Eventually, Dan Wright added digital in as an option on his Sony Mod. In the case of the HAP 1Z, my guess is that we will see the same. ... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Jazzdrummer, sorry to hear you got a dud. I've got 5 months of steady use on mine with no indication it is starting to go. I guess we will need to keep this thread running to see if others find a short tube life. At $40, if I went through 3 a year... | |
| Upgrade from Cambridge Audio 840C to lessen glare? One more ModWright fan here. Send an Oppo 105 to Dan and kiss your troubles goodbye. By the way, I owned the Cambridge and now own a ModWright Sony. Your new amp may be revealing the true nature of the Cambridge. it had some virtues, but there was... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Wig and Goose, some good info!Goose, I agree on the progress with new production tubes. With the advances in technology over the last half century, plus the fact that people like us are willing to pay high prices for quality tubes, you have to thi... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Goose, I think these Gold Lions are going to be hard to beat based on my experience so far. PSVane claims they have a 6SN7 equivalent that people really like in ModWright gear. One of the ModWright website photos shows an Oppo with the PSVanes. Yo... | |
| Visa Tranaction Suspended for Unusual Activity Yep, This has happened several times. Gets even more frequent if you buy from Europe. | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 Tubegroover is spot on. If you can wait for a used ModWright, you will find one of the greatest bargins in all of audio. The stock sony is pretty good on redbook and very good on SACD for the price. I had mine for a year before I sent it to ModWri... | |
| about Magnepan and power I have owned 3.7Rs, 1.6QR's and SMGa's. It has been my experience with all of those that the music becomes conjested at some high volume. Less so with the 3.7s than the others. So, I tend to not go too loud for two long. Maybe the 20.7s aren't giv... | |
| Sony 5400 or DAC ? Schubert, I love my ModWright Sony 5400. The stock 5400 was really good with SACD, somewhat less with red book. I'd consider an Oppo 105, which you could later send to Dan Wright for the mods. I know your love for music. You deserve the best bang ... | |
| If I like Gorecki'S Symphony 3 I'll like.....? Gorecki 3 is unique. It is one of my favorites too. I just returned from a live performance in Indianapolis. A memorable experience to say the least. | |

| Audio Magic Monoliths .. Has Anyone Tried Them? Sabai, Sorry, I must have missed your post from the 14th. I've been asked this before, and I am at a loss to put my finger on how to describe the sonic difference these make. The best I can do, is tell you that these substantially increase the "ri... | |
