Thanks Markwatkiss. But do you find it not "tubey"? I used 2 SS preamp before (Adcom and Rotel), and I don't like them until the AI, I am much happier. Does the Modwright sounds like SS? I enjoy listen to female vocal and instruments (guitar, violin, cello, sax). So, more on lower mid to mid-high range. The SS I tried sound harsh on mid-high range.
I will also research on others you suggested, I have never heard of them.
