I own the Modwright LS 100. It's one of the few things in my system that l never think about upgrading (though I'm sure there is better, maybe someday). My Ref 1s sound amazing and holographic, with great imaging. The LS 100 is very neutral to my ears and responds well to tube rolling.
Ayre K-5xeMP vs. Electrocompaniet - EC 4.8 MK II, or others?
I am looking to add a preamp to my current set up (Kef reference 1, Coda continuum TS power amp and Exasound e62 DAC - Kimber hero balanced cable) and wonder if anyone could provide advice, opinions or other options in the $3,000 range? The current set up is the best I've ever heard the kef's sound, however I feel am missing something. I am considering the Ayre K-5xeMP or the Electrocompaniet - EC 4.8 MK II. Open to tubes as well and curious about EAR, audiovalve and the Modwright LS 100.
I used to have a hegel h360 and found it laid back, thin and detailed. The Coda is warmer, with a more forward presentation and great macro and micro dynamics - this is a huge improvement for me over the hegel, but again something is missing...
Thoughts?
