Anyone optimized their ModWright Transporter yet?

Hey. I have had my MW TP for about a month now.

I too liked, but did not love, the unmodded TP. I agree that it is a tad analytical sounding. Pretty good still, but not great.

The MW TP, however, is probably the best source I have heard. I cannot compare it to a high end TT, because I play my vinyl on a mid-fi system w/an old and mediocre TT. On my hi-fi (Aerial Model 9s, Classe Cam-350s, TP into amps w/no pre), it is just great and is dramatically better than the Classe cdp it replaced and any other cdp I have heard (w/ the possible exception of an Esoteric Universal). Except for the vinyl comparison, Orjazzm's experience is similar to mine. I also find it very real and live sounding. Details are so real that I too have been startled by something in the music.

Great product. Highly recommended.

I've been hoping for a good comparison of the Modwright Transporter vs. the APL version. Both Dan and Alex have done great work. It would be very interesting to see a throwdown between the two.

Shredder,
Are you running the xlr or rca outputs on the Transporter into your CAM 350's?
Are you using the onboard attenuation on the Transporter?
Thanks,
Bill

Tonyptony,

The difference between the two is that Alex is the undisputed master of the digital side while Dan & Alan Kimmel are definitely the masters of the analog side.

Mr. Bill. Just found your post (5 weeks later). Sorry.

I am using the XLRs, which do not permit use of the onboard attenuators. Instead, I am using Endler's. Because i just got them, I can't give too much of a review, but so far so good.
