Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question
@danmar123 Yes Dan told me that there is only one version of the 6C45.  
Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question
I own this and love it. Yes the 6C45 cannot be replaced with the 6922 to my knowledge so not sure what blisshifi is referring to. I replaced my 6922 with Siemens E188CC/7308's and the result is extreme clarity, dynamics and transparency. The instr... 
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
I went from Vandersteen 2ce’s for many years of pleasurable listening to my current Spatial M3 Sapphires. Oh what I was missing!  
Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp?
@chilli42 No question I had the PS audio and it is just ok and agree that you are missing some of the dynamics and air. I now have the Modwright PH9.0x with some Siemens E188CC/7308 and it is my end game. You have some great choices out there but ... 
Acoustic Signature turntables
@lewm Aluminum, Steel and two layers of wood. Mine has a high gloss white finish that looks like multiple layers of paint. The platter alone is 24lbs. It's a Beautiful Beast 😊  
Acoustic Signature turntables
@plinko I have an older Acoustic Signature Triple X which is my end table. I actually bought it from a dealer here on Agon. It weighs in at 100 lbs and to me is the epitome of art and engineering. I can jump up and down near it on wooden floors or... 
Fun With Cable Risers
@roxy54 Thanks, I may try fishing line or floss to further suspend the cable but I'm not sure its needed, just a fun easy project  
Fun With Cable Risers
Just ordered some acrylic stuff from Amazon. Acrylic Cubes, Bases and U Shapes, Blue Felt and Double Sided Foam Tape. Approx $150 for about 20 which I probably won't use all but I really like the look. I think the foam tape may add some vibration ... 
How Do I Choose A Phono Preamp
I had the Hana ML and now the Umami Red. I upgraded from an SPL Phonos to the Modwright PH9.0X and it is stunningly good as is but add some NOS tubes for a real treat.  
Synergistic Atmosphere X Alive vs AQ Robin Hood Zero
@chaseton I owned the Rocket for a while and then switched to the SR. IMO there is something to be said for having a loom of cables from PC's, IC's, and SC's. I wound up getting the Powercell 8 UEF SE - Atmosphere X Alive PC's, IC'c and Speaker Ca... 
Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter
@stephens770 No way to isolate the table? I had an SPL Phonos which I loved and it had a subsonic filter which I never used. Just unbalanced outs though. Changed the fuse and PC and it was amazing. I have since sold it and use the Modwright 9.0x j... 
Octave Audio V70SE tube recommendations
Congrats, great amp. I agree with lowrider on burn-in. I started with the V40se went up the ladder and now have the V70 Class A. Your heritage specials could benefit from the Octave Super Black Box which improves bass response and grip. I personal... 
Dynaudio Contour 60i - What a difference after break in
@aussm Heard the Confidence 20's at a store with an Octave V80se and just wow, unbelievable dynamics, transparency and wide deep sounstage. If I didn't already have new speakers I would have jumped at them. I was in the market for a tube amp and w... 
PAP owners
@hleeid Great Choice. I was looking at PAP but went with Spatial M3 Sapphires. They needed room treatments IMO. Both Diffusion and Absorption mattered a great deal but I would think it's room dependent. Also away from front walls and side walls. G... 
Cambridge Audio Cxnv2 Truth Mod /tubes make all the difference
@knighttodd I own one of Dan’s mods and one of his works of art. I have a Pioneer LX500 modded as well as his Phonostage PH9.0x. It was worth every cent but I can tell you I will never buy another JJ tube again. I know Dan ships his units with the...
