(Sold) Modwright Oppo BDP-105 with Upgraded tubes
« on: 8 Oct 2016, 05:33 pm »
-Sold-
I'm selling my Oppo BDP-105 with Modwright Truth modification, 5' Modwright "Truth" umbilical cable and PS9.9 Power Supply. This unit included optional Bybee music rail upgrade on two channel portion ($225) & optional Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX upgrade ($400). This is the "fully loaded" upgrade from Modwright.  I rated it 8/10 because there're few minor scrub marks on the top cover toward right back corner (see photo), other than that, everything is mint.  The player and power supply had also been serviced, clean and checked up by Modwright in March this year and everything is in top condition so you can buy with assurance.

Included both cover (large hole and no hole) for PS 9.9 power supply to fit the different optional rectifier tubes as you please.

Upgraded tubes included:
-Sophia Electric Grade A: 6SN7 Matched Tubes ($300)
-Phillips 5R4-GYS rectifier from Upscale audio "The best buy and best made 5AR4/5U4G that we have or ever had. Made in Holland, where the famous Amperex Bugle Boy tubes were made.  First-rate, absolutely stunning tube."
-All stock tubes from Modwright are included with zero hour on them.

Includes all Oppo and Modwright original accessories and packaging.

Local (Bay Area, California) sale preferred or buyer pay actual shipping cost (two boxes-1 for player and 1 for power supply).  Add 3% for PayPal or "Friend and Family" payment welcome. Unreasonable offer will be kindly ignored.

The ModWright Oppo 105 modification has been awarded an Editor's Choice award in The Absolute Sound, based on Jim Hannon's review and is listed in 2015 Buyer's Guide. Plus you can read the rave reviews in TAS, Positive Feedback, and Dagogo.

If you want to hear music in all its glory I would implore you to rush out and
get this Modwright Oppo, you will never be sorry... With the right program
material it does as good a job as anything conveying the musicality and emotion
of a live concert.”

The Tube mod includes:

 -- Total redesign and replacement of single-ended and fully balanced output stage with our own tube analog stage (6SN7 driver tubes).

Hi,

Do these upgrades disable or remove any features?  Thanks!

Hi,

No function is disabled.  All features remain the same as original BDP-105 player. Only the two channels audio becomes much better. =)  As a matter of fact, you can still use the player without Modwright's power supply for all the player's functions except the dedicated modwright's 2 channels output stage. Cheer~
