My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
I’m listening to Enya right now at what I consider low/moderate levels and the ABC apps sound meter says my music is about 60 DB. Much of the music I listen to is much much more dynamic and quite a bit louder. Because of where I live I can never l...

Thank you to everyone’s contributions here.I just ordered a GEC U52 today for my Modwright 205/PS 9.0 V10There’s an epic rectifier thread @ Head-Fi and when some comments here echoed those I saw on the other thread and articles, I pulled the trigg... 
If not an Oppo 205 then what?
Panasonic is coming out with their NEW upscale 4K player in the fall. Looks like it was designed to compete with the Oppo 205. Analogue outs, better video processing. Dolby vision plus the new HDR10+. No list price yet though.https://www.pocket-li...

@whitecamaross My guess would be better shielding with the new Ethernet cable. It also could be that your new router has a lower noise floor as well or a combination of both.

@whitecamaross Pair your Ref 10 with a BAT VK-655se and you will take your system to another level. The current delivery with the 655se is high, 300 watts into 8 ohms and doubles down into 4 ohms so it will bring out the best in your PL500's and R...

@whitecamaross Right now you're liking the Black more plugged straight into the outlet, but all you're doing is raising the noise floor with the electrical grunge which is softening the highs but also smearing the subtle sonic details. I use balan... 
Oppo 203D or 205D?
I have both and upgraded from stock 205 to the Modwright. Even through 4k HDMI bitstreamed Blu-Ray, the sense of space and subtle sonic detail is superior on the 205. The 203 is excellent and the 205 even as a pure 4k Player is absolutely sublime.

Nice system John. Here's one of the few reviews I could find online. http://www.tonepublications.com/review/balanced-audio-technology-vk-655se/Like you I'm still waiting for someone to comment on the 655se.

Oppo Gone - Now What?
My Modwright 205 was just delivered today so I am a happy camper.I don't see anything else that offers anything close to the value the 205 gives. Panasonic has a new upscale player with analogue outs/better DAC /advanced audio processing coming ou...

So at the moment the sound-stage with the Black is more impressive than the sound-stage with the Ref 10/Pass??? 
BAT VK-655SE
Do you have one in your system? I have a BAT VK-6200 and I think it’s absolutely sublime and the best multi-channel amp out there. I’d love to hear what the owners of the 655se think of their amps and how they compare to others they’ve owned. 
Tube amps and heat
BAT gets so many things right with their amps. My solid state is extremely dynamic, and detailed with amazing Bass control. It delivers a deep soundstage with lots of width and height, and is just to the warm side of neutral. It's very musical and...
