Well did a test with the MWTP vs stock, did a nice write-up last nite and guess I took too long cause the session times out and it all got erased
So if this sounds a lil short , you know why.
First off I just shipped my stock TP off to its new owner and although the MWTP blows it away, the stock unit still sounded pretty good and def got me hooked enough to go the Modified rout.
I liked being able to hook up both TP's to same network and same Joule preamp as well as cue up same music for each one. If only my Joule has remote source switching I would never of had to get up. MWTP had all stock tubes and 160hrs at the time.
I cued up Nora Jones "Don't know why" and her voice on MWTP had alot more depth and separation from the music, I could hear the pluck of the guitar as well. There was more air in her voice and it took on a more lifelike feel. The stock unit , i could hear the guitar but the no sense of actually fingers touching it, less separation as her voice did not jump out as much.
I did say this would be short right , what the MWTP does for voices , air, separation (reduntant I know) , and top too bottom resolution just adds alot more depth and "real-ness" (made up word) to the music.
Listening to the stock unit is in no way bad and it will compete with alot of CD players I'm sure, but listening to how the music make me feel is more important then anything else. With the stock unit I'm listening and enjoying, with the MWTP I'm simply INTOXICATED! Good Job Dan!
PS..With the EML , I'm at the show
