| Experience with Modwright products? I have a Modwright PH 9.0X that I just got back in May of this year. I love it. Checks all the boxes for me without being absurdly expensive. I'm sure the PH 150 top of the line model is probably even better, but I'm not quite at the $10,000 phono... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X @blisshifi Thanks for those recommendations! I'll probably look into experimenting with some upgrades in the future. What sort of power cables do you recommend? @davehg Congrats! I'm definitely loving it. I'm looking forward to experimenting with... | |
| Virtual System Page...broken? Quick update: I submitted a support ticket (I posted this thread before I noticed I could do that - whoops!) and they got back with me this morning to say that there have been a select group of people who have reported the exact same issues. They ... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? I appreciate the amount of attention and comments this has received! While I totally anticipated a lot of conflicting advice, there is also quite a bit here that is common across the board - which is what I was really looking for. Most of it alig... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? @evank - what does the rest of your gear look like? Do you use tube amplification or SS? I was a little concerned with the Orchid given I'm going to be running it through tubes. I feel like it might get a little too warm sounding overall. | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? True. Ideally, close to analog sound. I prefer large soundstage, great midrange and vocals, tight bass. I have seen suggestions to use something like a bluesound node as a streamer-only so the app experience is more robust, but I'm not sure if it... | |

| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @ghdprentice : OP, I hope things work out. I am sure you are aware that matching / purchasing unheard is a really difficult way to get an optimal system, one in close alinement to your preferences. If you look at how well a system fits your value... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @ghdprentice : Road trip. Sometimes it is well worth doing a really long drive… or even a weekend trip. Schedule listening sessions in advance. Explain what you are looking for in advance. I made it a habit of visiting audio stores all over t... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @nordicnorm :I love them! I replaced my Martin Logan Spires with them. Prior to that, I thought nothing could out-perform the Spires (in that price range). I was very wrong. That's great to hear! I've talked with a couple owners of the 15s and ... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X Quick update - have had the 9.0X for a few months and love it. Was a significant, immediate upgrade from the Phonomena II+ (as I'd hope given the large price difference), and sounds fantastic. Very happy with it. | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s Probably the most annoying thing is that I don't have anywhere nearby to really demo any of these things, and many of the dealers have a 'no return' policy, so makes this especially difficult! |
