** SOLD **
Brain fart... forgot to post my asking price..... steal this for $800, obo.
Up for sale is my Modwright Sony 9000es player with many extras!! Original owner since it began life as a plain ole Sony, it became a reference player ever since Dan put his hands on it and converted it over using his analog tubed output stage and incorporating "bon-mods" as referenced here in the forums. It took my Modwright Oppo 95 to finally unseat it's presence in my audio kingdom (mostly due to playing electronic files vs. physical media), and now it sits getting dusty. I am sure someone out there can give it a good home since it still is a top notch CD/SACD player that is very musical, detailed, and not digital sounding at all.
Here is all that this 9000ES has or will ship with:
- Modwright Signature Truth Tube Mods (Bon-Mods; approx. 3 to 4v p-p output voltage swing!)
- Blue Signature Truth Umbilical Cord
- Modwright Tube-rectified power supply (or a SS power supply if you prefer, I have both, you can have one)
- Bybees on the Sony's power input
- DACT volume attenuator (no preamp needed; this is a $200+ option)
- pair of GE 7044 tubes (my faves, but any 5687 family of tubes will work; the Sylvania Gold Brand 5687, Tung Sol 5687, and Amperex 7119 tubes all sound great in the player)
- Mundorf Silver/Oil Caps in the tube output stage
- X03 Clock Upgrade
- a brand new, sealed in box, laser assembly for the 9000ES ($150 option; in case the laser ever gives out; it works perfectly now!)
This is still a great player, and still relevant today as it was a few years ago. For anyone who just wants to spin those shiny discs (CD or SACD) directly into an amplifier, whether its part of the main system, or a smaller secondary system. Its at home equally in either, and will wonderfully let the music play right thru for your enjoyment!
Buyer pays any shipping and paypal fees; local pickup is welcomed, and preferred. 2 boxes might be used for shipping; one for the player, one for the tubes and power supply.
"Reasonable" offers will be considered; others will be ignored.
