| How international is your system? Not very! All USA equipment except a ModWright modified Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD/SACD player. | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? An Adcom GFT-1A stereo tuner. Still works and sounds dandy! | |
| Headphones for setting VTA? For this job I would highly recommend the Sennheiser HD-800 with balanced harnass. These cans will definitely reveal the subtleties of minor VTA changes! | |
| worlds best headphones Sennheiser Orpheus ? Quite frankly, this is a silly question. There is no "best" headphone just "different" sounding top-line units. Remember the word "best" is subjective to each person as each can have a "best" for them which may not be "best" for someone else. | |
| Amp recommendation for AKG K1000's headphones? Burson Audio HA-160 | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used There is not a "best" for me. There are several top-line cans for I use depending on what kind of music and how the recording sounds. I use Audeze LCD-2 w/Burson HA-160 headamp for "perfect" recordings. The beyerdynamic T 1 w/Burson HA-160 for jam... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Disbeliever--as Dan Wright of ModWright accurately states on his website, tubes are best for amplifying voltage and SS devices work best for amplifying current, hence why he uses both in his mods for this player. | |

If you like your music to sound realistic and natural then this combo is formida... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Dennis:"just curious why you guys chose the points..."To my ears the cones simply sounded the best of all the reasonably priced isolation devices I tried. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome 3 BDR Mark IV cones under my SWL. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Do the preamp first. It will be money well spent over a new amplifier any day. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Clio09:Beer and brats are summertime fare. You are right about beer and brats--we got 'em! Are you from WI or the Midwest? | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome I am from Wisconsin--the Cheese Capitol of the World or we used to be (maybe CA has passed us up). Anyway, yes we do love our cheese in this state as well as our brandy! | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome This is an excellent thread with savy people whom I believe to be music lovers first and (audiophiles second or not at all). However, you absolutely must appreciate what Dan has created aesthetically, technically and musically.I don't think I need... |
