Looking at a new non-SACD player, but still own lots of SACDs

Very cool-  meiatflask

 I look forward in reading about your impressions on the auditioning of an Arcam FMJ and Ayre spinners.  Happy Listening!

New Marantz reference SA-10 as good CD spinning gets. Amazing audio piece.
Regards

missed out on the ayre as the dealer just sold it. hmmmm. i need to find local dealers for some of the other candidates mentioned

bdp24- i have heard of the modwright modifications, most noteably on the oppo.  any way to listen to the units before committing to purchase?

@tpreaves +1!  I am listening to Rachmaninoff's Symphony #2 right now on SACD.  Just lovely. Listened to of all things Yello's Toy CD this afternoon and the joint was jumping'.

@meiatflask  I've had my Marantz SA 8005 Modwright Signature Truth playing continuously for the 8 days it has been here.  Best digital I've ever heard. A great barometer to me about how something is sounding is if I find myself staying to listen longer than intended and making excuses not to leave the listening room.  A second indicator of great, clean sound is my inclination to keep turning up the volume.  Before this machine, I was more likely to reduce volume while listening to silver discs.

Everything about the Modwright experience from initial contact to receipt of the modified player and outboard power supply is as professional as it gets.  The 9.0 power supply is built like a tank!  Circuit layout and workmanship is exemplary. Even the way everything is packed is well thought out and executed.

I don't know here you're located, but if you were within a reasonable distance you would be more than welcome to hear it for yourself.

One important point I forgot to mention. Read and re-read threads on A’gon in which Modwright was discussed. Everything is positive and consistent! Many of the same adjectives are used to characterize the "sound" of the Modwright Signature Truth mods. Many threads discussed earlier experiences with having Oppo players modified. You are relatively new to posting here but I think you’ll find the folks here are really into the audiophile scene and genuinely want to help others to improve their systems by sharing their experiences. I put my faith in that and was richly rewarded.
