Audioengr,Not all tube stages are created equal so are definitely better than others probably one of the best if not the best one out there now is the Modwright which uses the Alan Kimmel MU stage.
The tech guy here in baton rouge said of the layout in the Cayin 17, dual power supply, true dual balance stages, 4 6922 "I'm very impressed what Cayin has done in this player". For the price its the most impressive looking, and finest built player for under 2K. You can write to him and get his opinion. Paul Baton Rouge
breginato@sanbrunocable.com - I've modded Modwright tube stages for customers in the past. They can be improved as well. Like audiofeil says "its the design".

The sonic character will be altered, and therefore it will no longer be a Modwright component possessing the Modwright "house sound". Whether one considers the change an improvement will be a judgment based on personal taste.
