Thanks for your input
Where is the 36.5 listed?

Search AudioCircle For "miklorsmith"

Just give'em a link. $6500. No relation to the seller whatsoever. Good luck.

"Recreation of stage & space, tube glow and midrange warmth and vocal realism, and rhythmic integrity top priorities. 80% vinyl, 20% digital."

You should definitely also check out the Red Wine Audio Isabella if you are looking for the sound that you describe above.

This is my favorite preamp and I have a friend who now owns one and is also smitten over the sound. He has owned many preamps over the years, including the Modwright 36.5 - the Isabella is so far his favorite by far as well.

Happy listening

Jeff

I should have noted that to roll a GZ37 or GZ32 in the single box 36.5 - unlike the Dual Mono unit - requires a moving the tube socket to line up with a DM top if you don't want to run it with the top off. Modwright will probably do this at a reasonable price.
