If you do decide to go down the preamp path (which I would have recommended over the tube buffer), the Modwright is definitely an excellent piece to consider. I'm a Blue Circle dealer and have compared it to the Modwright...the Modwright definitely gives you more of a "tube sound", and the Blue Circle preamps give you a more transparent/neutral presentation (not analytical at all, but relative to the Modwright, it is not as tube-sounding). Which you would prefer is definitely a matter of taste... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23741 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
