Experience with Modwright products?

Currently, I'm running in a Modwright LS99 preamp and KWA 99 monoblocks.  I have a dealer friend who wants them broken in or me to buy them or both. :)

Other than hearing Modwright products and briefly chatting with Dan at shows (he seems like a wonderful human and humble), I don't have any experience with their products. 

I thought my next move was going to Luxman, Allnic, Audio Research, or even a Japanese tube integrated.  Wow, am I impressed with this package out of the box. The linear Mosfet design with Class A up to whatever it is (say 25 watts) is really appealing to me. I run large horn loudspeakers. Just loving what I hear so far.

I have to imagine the products are built as well as they feel and service and relaibitily are stellar. Resale looks strong too. 

What experiences do our fellow 'Goners have with Modwright?  

Thank you all for your opinions and insight.

I have Dan's 9.0 Phone Pre. & I agree with your comment on his personality, but I can't see the cost of the upgrade to his X model, as my system sounds steller to me already.

I currently use Dan's PH 9.0X phono pre and I owned the LS 100 preamp a few years ago. Dan has always been extremely helpful and easy to work with, including when the LS 100 had to go in for out of warranty service. Quality products from a quality guy.

I've had Modwright LS100 preamp and KWA100SE power amp in my main system for 8-9 years enjoy them both and have had no operating problems. I also have the Elysee DAC which is now in my 2nd system about the same time line. I had a minor issue with a bad solder point which Dan took care of. I'd purchase his equipment again.

Great sounding products but like with any other used components, resale sucks. I took a substantial loss when I sold the KWA150SE, LS36.5 and Elyse DAC. If you planning to keep them around for a while, don’t worry about resale, just enjoy. Dan is an awesome guy, he will always have your back.
