I have never heard the Modwright. I owned the BHK and was pleased with it but the stock tubes are awful. I rolled in a pair of Tunsgrams from Upscale Audio and it radically improved the sound profile.
I used it for about a year with a pair of VTL-MB-185s. I moved to an Art Audio Conductor which is a single ended unit that is very customizable when I took on there line and it was a step up from the BHK, but, pricier.
Another unit worth looking at is the KR Audio P-135. It is a 45 based preamp and throws out a massive soundstage. Has balanced interconnects and is really a brilliant unit in the same price range.
Full disclosure, I am a dealer for both Art Audio and KR. Check out a review for the KR over at Positive Feedback.
