Rogue Perseus Magnum vs. ModWright SWL 9.0SE Sig

I have a Rogue Perseus that I recently had upgraded to Magnum, putting it near the same price as the SWL. The upgrade was an amazing improvement and I highly recommend it to Rogue fans. I haven't heard anything better, which leads me to my point. Has anyone compared the Perseus to the 9.0SE?

I'd definitely want the newer 9.0SE with the internal tube-rectified power supply and upgraded caps, etc. I'm intrigued because the 9.0SE gets so many reviews about how it's the best thing under $5k, while the Rogue is so rarely reviewed. I plan to do some listening and maybe auditioning at home from a local dealer, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Any input is appreciated.

Daveed_tx, great to hear about the Perseus Magnum. I just sent my Perseus to Rogue for the Magnum upgrade last week. I've had my Perseus about a year. The issue I've had is audible hum at my listening position when HT Bypass is engaged. I've already done as much as I can to get rid of any ground loop hum. So I'm hoping the Magnum upgrade, with the bigger power supply, will address the hum issue, as well as improve the SQ, which I already really like.

I too would like to check out the Modwright LS 36.5 someday.
