Modwright Sony ES9000 vs. Lector 7P

I haven't heard the Modwright Sony 9000ES but I own the Modwright Platinum Sig. Truth Sony 999ES and had the Lector CDP7T in on a loan for a couple of weeks.
The Sony is more neutral and extended in frequency response on both ends. The Lector is harmonically richer but rolls off the highs quite a lot IMHO. It also requires substantial isolation to keep the upper bass, lower midrange from being flabby.

A recent review of the Lector seems indicate it needs high power amplifcation down the chain to sound its best which seems odd but an observation nevertheless: think it was Absolute Sound

I own a Lector player and I can attest to it's wonderful sound. In it's stock form it handily beats the MSB reference cd station III. I had both on hand and the Lector is definitely more musical and involving. It is the most analog sounding player I've auditioned. If you do a bit of tube rolling it can move to a whole new level. I do not use the stock tubes as the tubes I selected change the Lector from a very good sounding player to an amazing musical performance.

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.
