Modwright Oppo 105
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have a sick family member. At first I sold my Burmester 089 because in my system (Venture speakers, Concert Fidelity tube pre., Magnus MA-300 amp and Jena Labs Pathfinder speaker cables, Prana Wire interconne... 
Modwright Oppo 105
I have to agree with everyone. Dan and his ModWright staff (Kristin) are outstanding! I also have the tubed ModWright 105 and love it (sold my GNSC Wadia S7i and Burmester 089). 
Hegel Amplifiers
I found a equal amp to the H30. I mean in all seriousness, it is, IMHO, the find of the century. It is the 600 wpc (4 ohm) Magnus CA-300 and 160 lbs!. I also tried the Magnus CA-200, but it was too "tubey" sounding with my ModWright Oppo 105.

Yes, I alerted Paypal and Audiogon. What a shame.

Sorry to report the seller of the Hegel H30 was a fraud. Had to do a cc charge back. 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
I just got my ModWright a few days ago, and have to concur with all the great things said. And I was coming from a $18K GNSC modded Wadia S7i and a $32K Burmester 089 CDP. My ModWright 105 blows it out the door. Dan hit this out of the ballpark. I...

I just bought a stereo Hegel H30. Review to come. 
VENTURE AUDIO SPEAKERS CHECK IN
Venture has the Encore at $30+, all the way up to the $200,000 Extremes. They have to be heard to be believed, and the build quality, finish is just as good. 
Are Burmester Amps a good match with Aesthetix Pre
I have a match made in heaven with my 911 m3 and Concert Fidelity pre. Outstanding!

I have heard on more than 1 occasion (and read) that the H30 actually sounds better as stereo amp, rather than with mono's. 
OPPO BDP-93 RAM Modification Thoughts.
You might want to contact (I did) Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. They are still praising RAM/Kyle. But what had me lol, was the reviewer mentoned the shoddy weld job from Kyle and blamed it on Kyle having the flu!! 
Fuses that matter.
This thread has recently spiraled down to, " Look at me! Look at me!" Anyone care to bring this back on topic? Any professional comparison reviews? 
Hegel Amplifiers
Sabai, you are right, and I do not know why Hegel is not known more. I guess it is up to us! 
Fuses that matter.
I read that it is better to replace fuses with circuit breakers, when possible. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I am not in the next 5 years, going to change my speakers, and if I do I will have to spend over $50K. The speaker I am talking about is the awesome Venture Audio CR-8 Signature.
