Audible Illusions Modulus 2 vs. Modulus 3


I'm helping a friend put together a low (medium) budget system. So far we've got Vandy 3's and a McCormack Deluxe DNA-1. I'm wondering what the sonic difference is between the Modulus 2 and the Modulus 3. I'm also thinking of an EAR 834L and a Quicksilver Linestage. Thanks for any opinions! Peter

I haven't owned the Modulus 2 but I have owned the Modulus 3 and 3A. I would be willing to bet that the M3 is a quantum leap better than the M2.

The Modulus 3 is obviously a very good preamp (they sold thousands of the things). It is wonderfully musical and trouble free. The M3A is much more detailed and transparent than the M3 while retaining it's musicality.

I own the McCormack DNA-1 and it mates well with either the M3 or M3A.
