TRL 595-how good is it?
711Smilin,I've been absent from these threads for a while, but I've wondered about your thoughts on the Modwright Denon vs. the APL3910. I can bring over a Modwright DVP-9000ES if you want to do a comparison listening sometime late in June.Let me ... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Audiojoy4 - It has been a dreary week in February here in the States. As you suspect, the weather's influence is taking its toll. Some reach for handguns; others for a beer (and then they post).- Eric

Boa2 - Thanks, I appreciate your comments.Tgun5 - That was a fine use for the DV-50. I didn't realize you were so handy. For the finishing touch, if you can find some pine tar, or bitumen, or an asphalt reduction tar and then apply it liberally ov...

Howard,Thanks for the interesting post. Can you comment at all about the associated equipment? What speakers? etc.As for cheese: does anyone else like really old, crumbly goudas? 
Apple Mini 'puter as a CD jukebox?
Wouldn't you want to stream the audio over wireless? I can't see running long cables from the Mac box to your system. How would this work with Apple's plug in iPod wall-wart device?- Eric

Hi Steve,Good to see that you are back. Thanks for bringing the APL 3910 to Brian's house. Let us know what you think of the Modwright 3910 and TRL player when they are broken in and you are comfortable with their sound.- Eric

Lazarus28 - You know, if you look at what I wrote, I don't believe that I claimed to know all the nuances of each player. That would be an arrogant statement. But, and here's the thing: YES, I did reach a definitive conclusion last Saturday, in th...

There were meaningful differences in this listenting session between each of the three players, I can assure you of that.It was easiest to compare the APL unit against the Modwright because they each excel in different areas. The DV-50 sort of tra...

That Nils Lofgren CD sounded great. But I didn't walk off with it... I swear! I brought a single CD, "Shaker" and that's all I returned with. :)

In response to Tvad: Fair question. Here is how I scored the three: Esoteric DV-50 (46); APL 3910 (47); Modwright 9000ES (48) out a "perfect" score of 55. We used a subjective scale of one being worst, and a five being the best, across 11 categori... 
Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player
Twilo, when did you get your Adcom modified? Stan modified a 5802 for me, too, but for $400 + parts. Can't complain with the end result. I really like Stan and his work speaks for itself. 
Whats better? Adcom 5800 or Adcom 5802
Twilo, I had an Adcom 5802 modified by Stan Warren of SuperMods 541/344-3696. I think Stan mentioned that he *did not* like the 5800. In any case, I'm very happy with the 5802 and suggest that you call Stan some afternoon. The call will really be ...
