Again, congratulations are in order for ModWright's brilliant work and well-deserved follow-up review in Positive Feedback. As Robert Levi advised in the addendum to the original review:
"After replacing the standard copper umbilical cable to the outboard power supply with the new ModWright Revelation Audio Cryo-Silver umbilical cable, I shook hands with THE new champion of audio reproduction. As now configured, the ModWright/Sony not only tops all other digital reproduction I've heard to date, but all analog reproduction as well. No phono cartridge I am familiar with reaches the sublime levels of this player. Nothing does. In addition to perfect accuracy, I am hearing an intimacy, delicacy, and musical swagger that—until now—I thought was the domain of analog and only the dream of digital. I am getting incredible textures coupled with a complete lack of smearing. The analog dream is here now in a digital player, and it is affordable! The addition of the silver umbilical cord was the crowning touch. I am in awe. With the copper umbilical, it was very good, but somewhat thin and artificial. Now it sounds like 100 instruments magnificently arrayed in the room, with depth and texture galore. There is no etch or phasiness to be heard, just the unbelievably majestic sound of the real performance. How can this be? For $250, who cares? Just get it."
It took months of work to optimize the design this umbilical cable specifically for use with the ModWright tube mods. If you have or are getting the mods from ModWright, while you are at it you simply must adhere to Mr. Levi’s advise and “just get” the Revelation Audio Labs Cryo-Silver umbilical for the outboard power supply from ModWright. Only then will you truly realize the full performance potential of this incredible player. Of course it is the player we use in our reference system. Utterly remarkable!
