Modwright SWL9.0SE/CI Audio D200
I really liked the Sonic Euphoria. I have owned a few passives in the past, but no other transformer/autoformer-based units. It was really quite nice.The ModWright (for my tastes) was a better mate with the CIA amps - a bit better bass and better ... 
Modwright SWL9.0SE/CI Audio D200
No offense taken, but hey, it was over 30 years! ;>)On the bright side, no one could accuse me of being a shill for a particular manufacturer!One of the problems was 21 moves in that time ... and to think, we weren't on the run from the law or ... 
Modwright SWL9.0SE/CI Audio D200
I had been using the CIA D-100s before the D-200s. I was using a Sonic Euphoria PLC before the ModWright.Over the years, I have used the following tube amps ... not a complete listing, but what I could readily recall:Dynaco ST-70 Berning EA-230 Be... 
Modwright SWL9.0SE/CI Audio D200
TVAD,I have posted about this combo a few times, both here and at AC and AA, as I too have been using this combination with a Consonance Droplet CD player and Gallo Ref III speakers (with Gallo SA amp and Bright Star stands.)Agree with Vinh (to wh... 
Marigo Apparition Reference Line Conditioner
I owned one of these Marigo parallel units and also found it to be very effective (it was a favorite of Bound for Sound.)It is a parallel conditioner, so you simply plug it into the same wall outlet (other plug) as you have your other gear. Direct...

Rhyno,Thoughts are with you ... it looks like the storm will hit NE of you. Kudos to your wife.As one who lived for three years on a barrier island (Siesta Key) of Sarasota, FL and was evacuated three times, I totally understand. I bookmarked the ... 
Hot Droplet?
Yes, they do run hot. We are in a small Manhattan Studio apartment and it has not yet been an issue for me. Think in terms as not as hot as big tube amps or Class A SS amps ... and you will get a better feel for the heat. It is more along the line... 
amp choice,s
OLDcar63I have not compared all of them, but have auditioned the PS Audio HCA2 and ownded the Bel Canto 200.2. If you do not mind, I will throw an additional (perhaps surprising option for you) ... they are too new to find used, but the Channel Is... 
Review: Michael Wolff Cables
I just posted this over at Audio Asylum, but felt inspired enough to post it here too:I have been in this hobby for just about 30 years and the few of you who actually know me, know that I deeply love music. Music helped me beat cancer and I spent...

Powervar 1200 - How good?
Hi,I have been down exactly the same road with exactly the same units you mention and more too. When downsizing to my current set-up, I received a modified Powervar 1200 in a partial trade for my BPT-3.5 Sig. It had Porter Ports instead of the sto...

Mapleshade Double Helix
Do you have the interconnects in close proximity to any ac cords, ac outlets or transformers?? They can be sensitive to all of the above. The instructions must be closely observed. Do agree with DeKay...I would call Pierre. He is a wonderful sourc...
