Modwright SWL 9 SE vs Audible Illusions L1

I am wondering how is the Modwright SWL 9 SE compared to Audible Illusions L1. Both of them are highly praised. I see comments that the Modwright is not "tubey". Do you think it is an upgrade to move from AI L1 to Modwright? I am looking for a preamp with a remote.

I've owned both.In my system the Modwright out performed the AI.At its price point the Mod is very attractive.
Depending on your budget you may also want to consider the Aesthetix Calypso,Audio Horizons and the Dodd battery powered pre.

Well using Adcom and Rotel would explain why SS didn't work for you.The Mod,in no way sounds like solid state,kinda like suggesting this red wine tastes like that white wine.Your decision to research other products is a wise move.
