blue cicle 21.1 w/level1 mod vs. mapletree 4se


I have a Mccormack DNA-1 silver that I am considering either a Blue Circle 21.1 (6922 tubes) w/level 1 mod or a Mapletree 4SE.

I am using Alon II speakers and Jolida 100 cdp.

I am looking for full bodied sound as I call it, silky warm mids, airy highs but not bright in your face, and solid bass that you can feel when the music calls for it.

I am actually getting the silver upgrade with a few added features included soft-fast recovery diodes and IEC power connect upgrades recommended by Kris that will make it better than a gold.

What BC product did you own that you had problems with>?
The Blue Circle 21.1 preamp has been around for some time I'm surprised there haven't been many members chiming in to help. I checked the archives and saw some positive thoughts on the Blue Circle 21.1 but none with the Blue Circle 21.1 Level 1 mod. Maybe some other forums may be helpful to you.

Let us know what you think about the McCormack once all the mods are done.
I already cannot wait for the amp back with all the changes, it will be six or so weeks out before I recieve. It will be an early christmas present the wife doesn't have to know about...
