Comparision: Modwright, Counterpoint, Aesthetix

I'd put my Quicksilver full function preamp up against the Modwright. I have it at Audio Connection in NJ where it's been gone over. LEt me know if interested. Thanks.

Stefan, is this a second thread on this? We did this yesterday, lol. What is your true budget? What are the ones you mentioned going for? Thanks.

totally different price points. Which Quick was it? For that price it must have been the line stage only Quick, which to me was their worst product. I am selling (think it just sold) the Quick full function pre..their first one. That pre was very very good and better than the AI pre by a far margin as mine was rewired with MIT internal wire.

The only problem I have with the Counterpoint and we discuss this on the other thread, is that it's way too expensive for all the upgrades and part of that is to fix the basic design flaws in the pre. I loved how it sounded and was going to buy one, but they just weren't reliable. Everyone I knew who had one had a major problem with it. It's too bad.
