Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units

Oddly, there are currently (as I type this) 5 modwright oppo 105 units for sale to just one stock oppo 105. Seems odd as there has to be a ton more stock 105 units to the modwright 105's that have been produced.

I have a oppo 103d and have looked at getting another unit thats been modded but that brings in red flags on all the modwrights being dumped like meeting a women thats been divorced 5 times!

Are these modwrights overpriced units? Something wrong with bringing in the tubes???

I never see other modded oppos for sale like an evs or others which tells me the owners like them.

I know its hard to decide which mod to put in your oppo as you cannot demo them first so you can ONLY go by reviews and comments.

Question...which mod do you take you chance on with your stock oppo player?

I own a ModWright/Oppo 105 and have nothing but praise for how it sounds and for the folks at ModWright. The one issue I had turned out to be an Oppo (not ModWright) problem requiring a new front panel (the original panel's touch-buttons would not respond to touch although the remote still functioned). ModWright handled the whole thing -- they apparently have a great working relationship with Oppo -- and I couldn't be more pleased with their service.

Freemand, I must admit when it comes 2 my audio equipment n most things I do like New, so there will be no doubt about anything period. I do think used equipment is a great buy n see nothing wrong with buying it, but for me I would have 2 know the seller or at least see the unit in person...........

I also enjoy knowing I can talk 2 the maker of any unit I buy before n after, like Dan Wright or Nelson Pass etc.. These are some of the people that our high end audio........

My system right now (still in boxes till I move) Passlabs Preamp n class A power amp plus Anthony Gallo speakers 2 start, not sure what size room I will have till I move, so speakers our going 2 change. I also have the Marantz SA-KI Pearl SA/CD Player. I have also owned Modwright LS100 Preamp n it sounded great with my Martin Logan Theos speakers n KimberKable, I wasn't 2 crazy about the looks but its the sound that counts.

Tubegroover, I may need to look at this modwright mod as a possibility as I cant ignore all the love. I have been impressed with what I heard about EVS also and Ric seems like a decent guy to work with.

It would be fun to get some agonners together with the oppo players modded by different companys to have an audio shootout which is the part of audio I enjoy.

The guys talking about 4k players maybe correct. I did some more heavy digging on the oppo players and I found something interesting. One post had a guy who emailed oppo to find out when a 4k player is due out. Oppo responded back to him and wrote that one should be out late 2016 or early 2017. So about a year to year and half. I am not sure if I would sell a current player yet but who knows.

Henrycai, I understand what your saying as I am quite anal most of what I buy, but my thriftiness sometimes wins out. $2000 plus dollars is a nice savings!
