Modwright LS100 vs The followings


I am using a Modwright LS100. I think it sounds quite good, but I am wondering how does it compared to the followings:

1) Coincident Statement Line stage
2) ARC SP10
3) Doge 8
4) Supratek Chardonnay
I listen to SP10 at my friends place, it has a huge sound stage and very holographic. But the price in the used market keeps going up. Given the current market price, I am wondering is it is better to get a current production model.

Would any of this be a significant upgrade to the Modwright LS100?

dan wright’s sonic target with his tube gear is to give sonic benefits of tubes (holographic imaging, fleshed out midrange and mid bass) while maintaining and not sacrificing any of the benefits of top flight solid state (slam, transparency, extension at both frequency extremes)

so with his tube gear you will not get the classic, smoothed over, rolled off, mellow, honey colored sound of tube units of years past
i would concur that dan wrights tube rectified gear all benefit greatly from moving from the stock present day russian 5ar4's to old stock mullard or amperex ones
