| Compare: Modwright LS 36.5 & Audio Research LS26 We chose output transformers to create the balanced outputs (and serve the SE (RCA) outputs also), for the following reasons:1) OPT (Output Transformers) allow us to provide a MUCH lower output impedance (100ohm), over the standard 600ohm output i... | |
| Belles 350a reference fireworks Hi guys, this is Dan Wright from ModWright Intruments Inc. It has come to my attention that some people have had trouble with some of our earlier 9.0SE preamps and the Belles AC coupled amp. Our earliest units did allow for elevated DC levels righ... | |
| effect of tubes in cd players I would be curious to know which of our products were 'modified' by Empirical Audio? The design of our tube circuits and topologies have evolved over time. I will admit that early ModWright tube mods that relied on a SRPP circuit had some HF limit... | |

First of all, I decided to keep the power supply internal and this meant a need to keep noise and emi fields to a minimum, etc. Size and orientation were thus critical decisions.I... | |

It will also be a higher-priced product, likely in the $3500-$4000 range.In response to the comments about... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE -vs- Aesthetix Calypso? This is Dan Wright of ModWright Instruments. First of all, thank you to those who replied with positive experiences.
