I am currently running a Mullard GZ-32 Rectifier and 6H30DRs for the signal tubes. Also have changed both standard fuses to HIFI Tuning Fuses and am using a Black Sands MKV PC. Everyone has there own preferences for sound quality but all I can say is this expensive piece of gear delivers. If you take the plunge plan on buying some NOS tubes as they truly improve over what is delivered by the stock supplied tubes. My plans are to try a Tung-Sol 5U4G and Mullard GZ-34 as rectifiers before settling on my favorite combinations.
Anyone optimized their ModWright Transporter yet?
Wondering if there are any other ModWright Transporter owners out there? if so:
* What are you using for tubes? I'm very impressed with the sound stock using the 5U4 rectifier and the 6N1P triodes. Any positive experience tube rolling?
* any other tweaks effective? Tube dampers? What are you supporting it with? I've been using Herbie's feet, but wonder if cones or myrtle blocks might offer advantages?
I'm a vinyl guy, so this whole digital thing has been a revelation to me. I've never heard a CD player that came anywhere close to delivering the sound quality and "you-are-there" feeling that the MW Transporter delivers. Not that there isn't better stuff out there, but I've never heard it. So I'm looking to get the best out of it that I possible can.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
