Compare: Modwright LS 36.5 & Audio Research LS26

Rydenfan,
Yes I'm aware. I've recently added the Modwright SWP 9 phono stage to my system. I replaced the power supply tube and the 6N1p's to obtain a tad more tube midrange with stunning results. Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your thorough and thoughtful analysis.
My analog front end is a TW Acustic Raven One Table, a Graham Phanton arm and a Dynavector XX2MkII cartridge. The phono pre is a Modwright SWP 9 with
NOS Mullard 5AR4 in the power supply and old Russian military 6np1's in the gain stage.
The tube changes have made the pre a bit "tubier" while preserving the resolution and staging of the stock preamplifier. Cabling is Synergistic research Tesla Accelerator.
The line stage upgrade is the final major piece...other than power cords etc.
Your input is valuable.....much appreciated.

Rpf:

Thanks for your input
Where is the 36.5 listed?

Colopilot:
Can you explain the differences between the standard dual differential ballanced circuit and the implimentation Dan
chose for the LS 36.5? Do other designers use the same approach?

Thanks,
Jim

Dan,

Thanks for your explanation. I appreciate your response. I also want to share how your phono stage has increased my musical enjoyment. A masterful design.
