Modwright Sony ES9000 vs. Lector 7P

Looks like this is my short list for a CD player upgrade in the $3000 range constraint. Any thoughts?

I already own the unmodified ES9000 and would go for the full Absolute truth mod if that's the direction I select.

Thanks in advance.

I do have the SonyModwright 9000es, this Cdp is a full
sounding unit, with excellent harmonic texture,this one
is way better than the 999es,I heard both of them in
many occasion,Dan has BonMod that is a clone of my
player.This player is also very musical, I listen many
hours on this cdp, its unfatiguing.Good Luck.

Which tubes are you using? Highly interested as a CDP7 owner. Thanks.

Hi,

Owner of the Lector myself - and done som tube rolling:

I've now tried with Siemens NOS as well as RFT NOS (former eastern Germany I quess) and the original CVC Chelmer valves.
The RFT tubes are best in my system, giving more precise bass as well as natural imaging. Detailed without beeing edgy.

Mullards are next on the list :-)
