I owned a Logitech Transporter DAC and after many years replaced it with an OPPO Sonica DAC---both were purchased from and modded by Dan. There wasn't a single problem with either of them and they were (and are) a joy to listen to. Dan was extremely responsive in answering all my questions and delivered well-built and great sounding products.
Experience with Modwright products?
Currently, I'm running in a Modwright LS99 preamp and KWA 99 monoblocks. I have a dealer friend who wants them broken in or me to buy them or both. :)
Other than hearing Modwright products and briefly chatting with Dan at shows (he seems like a wonderful human and humble), I don't have any experience with their products.
I thought my next move was going to Luxman, Allnic, Audio Research, or even a Japanese tube integrated. Wow, am I impressed with this package out of the box. The linear Mosfet design with Class A up to whatever it is (say 25 watts) is really appealing to me. I run large horn loudspeakers. Just loving what I hear so far.
I have to imagine the products are built as well as they feel and service and relaibitily are stellar. Resale looks strong too.
What experiences do our fellow 'Goners have with Modwright?
Thank you all for your opinions and insight.

I think certainly from the perspective of a KAV 225i owner, I suspect his stuff is a bit underrated. This integrated for sure is wonderful – just takes control, wonderful, soundstage, clarity but musical, incredible timing and punch. I love integrateds which is a preference I can’t completely explain. I’ve had some very good ones and still have a Aesthetix Mimas, which I have reviewed positively elsewhere and I think it’s a wonderful piece. It has this ethereal componentto the highs where instruments float in the air in a way I’ve never heard before. However, with the Devore 0/93’s it just wasn’t a good match. I am finding the Modwright very muscular, deep, fast, with a wide sound stage, and frankly just a beautiful sound. I suspect I am sticking in the class A range solely with the Devores. I would suggest this is a true hifi piece with an incredible team behind it. |
@jbhiller, did you have a chance to compare your Vince t7 with Modwright LS99 preamp? And if so, what is your impression? |
