Modwright SWL9.0SE/CI Audio D200

I am using this exact combination to drive my Tubulous speakers at CES 2006 (Room AP 1655). Gingko Audio is sharing the room with Channel Island Audio and ModWright and we will use as sources the ModWright Universal Truth modded Denon 2900 universal player and a VPI Scoutmaster. We tried many other amplification combinations but this one is really magical.
The ModWright pre has clear, sparkling sound with rich harmonics and the D-200 monos pack a punch. The overall sound is detailed and smooth top to bottom, very musical and engaging. I can literally listen to it for hours, drawn in to the musical performances, from rock to classical, small group to full orchestra.
We invite all to stop by our room at CES to hear it for yourself.

Vinh, thank you.

I'd love to try this combination myself. It sounds really good. I'm using the Modwright with McCormack DNA 1 RevA Gold. Not that I'm not happy, but the enthusiasm people I trust have over this combination... it's like they're droping a dime bag in front of me. The 10% gamble has me frozen looking for more reviews like you, Tvad. Maybe we can work something out.. You buy them and if you don't keep them, sell to me minus 5% if you leave me enough time to send back to CI.

Ha! You first.

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 whom I would always defer) that the combination is a delightful combination of the desired Audiophile goodies, but moreover, exceptionally musical and engaging.

I am using the Cryo'ed Tung Sol 5687s, with AC and slipstream Bybees, with Dan's most recent upgrades, including the vibration isolation update.

I have owned so many pieces of gear in over 30-years, but this is the first time I can profess satisfaction.
