| Which integrated tube amp to go with which speaker Zenophonz,Call John Tucker at Exemplar Audio and ask about his Exception integrated. Simply an amazing sounding piece. Very MUSICAL.

| Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods? I have owned both the stock Oppo 105 and John's latest T105. Anyone who cannot hear a difference must have really bad hearing. The stock unit is okay but sound receiver like. The T105 sounds like high end gear. | |
| EVS modified Oppo 105D I agree that the Oppo 105 if upgraded properly is a world class piece of gear. I had John Tucker of Exemplar Audio upgrade mine and it is simply stunning. I would place it in "up to 15K" comparison. No edge, brightness, no sterile sound just gorge... | |
| How is EMM DAC 2X? I just had John Tucker of Exemplar Audio upgrade my Oppo 105 to the T105 (tubed version) and after the 100 hours or so of break-in it sounds absolutely beautiful. I have owned or heard some of the best DACs out there and for the money the T105 wil... | |
