| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @pirius If you are stating that Modwright is replacing the Marantz drive in its modded machines with an Oppo drive I believe you are incorrect. In fact, the quality of the Marantz drive and overall circuit layout is what Dan Wright found attra... | |
| Physics of downward firing woofers My two Vandersteen 2wq downfiring subs. are decoupled from the listening room floor. The subs. original spikes were replaced with brass audio points which sit in Herbie's Audio Labs Giant Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders which are .67" high. Raisi... | |

| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @rnrmf1971 First thing. I have no basis to dispute what you heard with the Modwright modified Oppo BPD 105D in your system. Anecdotal evidence however, evidence reported on this forum by many members, flies in the face of your unique experience... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I believe Marantz has developed a "house sound" that is reasonably consistent across their product line. As audiophiles, we utilize an extensive vocabulary of adjectives to describe what we hear from specific components and systems. Marantz has s... | |

| Tube Rolling for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 2 @twoleftears The new production Gold Lions respond well to cryogenic treatment. I use GL 12AU7s in my line stage on an ongoing basis and replaced the stock Sovtek 5AR4 rectifier in my SACD player power supply with a Gold Lion GZ34. I always source... | |
