Shopping for a preamp

The sonic character of the unit is such that it is very true to the music and the recording. Very nice frequency extension on both sides of the audio spectrum along with a nice detailed mid-range. A strong performer and very competitive with units beyond its price point. It is easy to use and set-up with little fuss along with excellent support from Keith.

@adg101 Can you tell me more about what you like with the MW LS100? I am currently using tubes for power amp. Do you use this preamp and if so what associated gear is in your rig?

@czbbcl thanks for the details. Did you audition other units before purchasing the Herron? If so, please list and also provide details as to what sold you on the Herron vs. the comps. Thanks.

@asp307 I have the LS36.5 and prior to that owned the SWL 9.0SE. I have listened to a ton of gear over the years and just find ModWright a great brand that competes with much higher priced manufactures. I mentioned the LS100 because it can be upgraded with a internal phono board. Besides being great sounding equipment the build quality is much higher than you would think; not sure how Dan does it for the price... casework and parts quality is very, very high. If you don't have a local dealer, Dan will send you a unit direct to audition. I have spoken with him on the phone several times, many emails and he is a great person to deal with and very honest. I appreciate he is a down to earth guy and not full of it.

@adg101 Thanks for the info. I like rocking out and my system is a lot of fun. I upgraded my outlets to Furutech GTX-D Rhodiums with dedicated lines. Although still breaking in the noise floor has dropped and dynamics have increased. I want to continue with this type of vibe however with a great 3D holographic preamp with phono. Currently I use an MI cart and would like to try MCs.

Several months back I auditioned a Rogue Ares and a Simaudio Moon 310LP (w/o external PS) and I preferred the solid state phono-pre instead of the tubes from a company that I already use with my integrated. I just felt it was too much tube. The SS balanced the tube integrated which was I using as a power amp.
