Modwright LS100 versus Rogue 99

Hi,

Anyone compared the sound between the Modwright LS100 and The Rogue 99 preamps? I was happy enough to compare both using a Rogue M-180 dual monoblock. My findings so far is that both preamps almost sound identical. The noticeable similarirties are lush mids and smooth highs, fast and tight bass and deep soundstage. I guess this is because both have 6SN7 tube complements. Although the Rogue 99 has deeper bass and more air, the Modwright has better imaging and focus and slightly more enhanced upper Hi's. Again this is my opinion. I may be wrong. Any feedback will surely be appreciated. Thanks

Jriggy,

I guess you're correct to say that ModWright gear takes a good 3 to 4 hundred hours to settle in. I have less than sixty hours on my unit. Compared to the Rogue 99 Magnum the sound is still a bit edgy. Though I noticed it got smoother from day one. Thanks for the info.
