ModWright Transporter experience: truth vs. beauty?

[haraldo]

I've heard the silkaflex has good room treatment acustics as well.
Did you DBT before and after bullet hole fix?

Yas, I did DBT, and I compared Sikaflex and some brands of Acrylic glue, you seem to get slightly better midrange dynamics with Sikaflex, and a bit less treble glare.... which is why I prefer this as my main tweak now...

I've given up trying to change the minds of audiophiles. There's only one alternative left.

I'm so confused..

I thought the ceiling texture worked best to diffuse bullet backwaves?

Anyone here live in the SF Bay Area? I'd love to audition that wooly Modright TP and the tizzy stock TP side by side. I have a slightly modded SB3 with the Welbourne PS.

I added a nice DIY VH Audio power cord last night to that linear P.S. only because it was a temporary spare and thinking it would probably make no difference to the sound of my SB3 but what the hell..

Now I have to go home and AB these power cords some more because we must have smoked something last night - and I don't mean electronics! We could not believe how much change occurred with that cable. I have to get home and reaudition this change - or find that roach.

I can't sit still , a moving target is harder to hit.

There's been an olympic event...
"Shooting on running targets"
In Norwegian we call this: Shooting on running boar

Perhaps quite ok to describe audiophiles.........

Hmmmm
doesn't it matter more about synergy in components and personal listening tastes? I've found that you really can't say something is "better or not", just that it suits your system as you like to hear it.
I'm fascinated at the emotion this stirs up! Personally I thought the original post wasn't that "ra ra" - I read it and took it for what it is: a personal perspective.
I have different amp's for different music - my favourite 6CLC Spud amp for colour eg female vocals, jazz - and a Bryston 100 SST for large scale orchestral. The Transporter (stock) sounds to my middle aged ears just fine with both - different but fine.
Less is more eh??

Hmmmmmmm......
I would be a bit worried if some equipment worked with some music and some equipment worked with other kinds of music.....
Guess I'm a bit in the same situation myself... I've got a pair of Duntech PCL-15's (made in Australia of course) that's about the best speakers I have heard at any price when it comes to presenting small scale music with female vocals... Listen to the closest thing to crazy with Katie Melua and you will possibly have tears in your eyes... Try heavy rock and everything falls apart....
I guess we should try to aim for rig's that work with all kinds of music with all our equipment.

...or should we? I wouldn't really mind switching speakers every now and then, perhaps if I used an active crossover with my Duntech's they would work heaps better because the issue with them is that they don't tolerate deep bass at high power levels...

If we can dig into what's the issue with our equipment and find an affordable way to resolve... That's a significant step ahead....

b.t.w. I love your opera house :-D

Oh I don't know...I think that tube tonal colour doesn't suit all styles of music. I like my orchestral straight up, my female vocal coloured and my dance/trip hop straight up as well.

I'm not sure that you can have it all without compromise somewhere. Most of my hi fi friends have a few different rigs and mix and match depending on what they are after. One has a 6CLC tube like mine (actually the same - he built mine!!), a cheaper CD player and a pair of Jamo's for casual listening and the full exepnsive CD player, ML Ribbons/ NAD S200 Pre/ dual mono's for serious listening to orchestra.
I also have a set of Hornshoppe Horns that I love for what they do...and I adore a great set of monitors eg your Duntech's ...but forget about driving them with a flea watt tube - and it's associated tonal warmth.


Thank you - we think it is lovely as well!
Best Wishes

For those new to these forums...Tom's irony is beyond comparo.

Shockingly....I'm not new to these forums, I just left for a while, but I'm shocked to come back and found that people here still wasting their time arguing with Tom.

Guys..do you know that he has hearing deficiency?

Have a nice day!

Sorry , 95, I have my ears tested annually, they are fine, being a professional musician makes that important.

Sorry to see that you, OTOH, are still as intellectually deficient as ever.
