Al is the king of bourbon! I made an offer on a Modwright SWP 9.0SE Signature phono stage which was accepted Decided since I liked my one box Modwright phono/pre, I would stick with the Modwright phono [ATTACH=CONFIG]2479[/ATTACH]

the water is fine, jump in!

audiophilia is a disease

hmmm... well that drops the cost to $8 more per board for PRPs not smart enough, but are there key resistors (signal path) that could be replaced with PRP?

12" arms are usually very pricey, and there is no consensus that they give audible benefit due to lower tracking distortion. How about an SME 309? Very good arm, and can be found used on Agon for around $1k when they pop up. Just give it a better output cable and you are ready to rock!

Ok folks. Been working the spreadsheet here is where it stands right now. Price of parts per conventional board is approximately $26 excluding taxes, fees and shipping, this includes vishay dales, Nichicon Muze for the big caps, wima for the box caps. The OPA445s are out of stock at Mouser, so this adds $2 per board to get them from DigiKey. Parts values are the standard values published when the boards were designed. I have not recently priced the PRP resistor option, but if there is much interest, it can be done, but this adds about $10 per board per my last price check /don't know about availability. One question is should we order overage on the resistors for better matching, etc?

heh... but I've heard better now... no going back

Hmm maybe, or the Modwright SWP, or Bat, or I dunno!

nice! look forward to hearing your impressions

So after talking to Dan Wright my broken SWLP9.0 SE Signature has to go back. After some more discussion, I'm not getting it back, but rather this The LS 36.5 tube linestage Of course this now leaves me with no phono stage....except the NAD PP2 loaner from my buddy. Need to contemplate what I will get for a phono, probably around $2k price range, used or new.

good for the money. It just did not offend, and actually sounded pleasant.

Marc, appreciate the offer to help with my particular setup. As for the group parts buy, I can work it for the next few weeks, then I will have to turn it over to someone else, as I will not have time to work it again for many months.

Vinyl rig back in business. A buddy came over with a NAD PP2 he had in storage..... hey for a hundred dollars this phono stage sounds shockingly good!!

no sweat. Sorry for not getting this done more timely.

I have an email out to digger and luvdunhill to help me finalize parts values. Once I get that feedback, I will post the parts list and approximate cost for each board. Any takers can then contact me and we will finalize the group parts buy costs and collect the money to place the orders. Sorry for the delay. Pete

Nice review JP#s ! I am vinyless right now as my Modwright SWLP quit last night. The PSU does not turn on. Tried another rectifier tube no diff. On one of the input tubes the silver top is now black, I wonder if that means that tube is blown, and the unit is self-protect shutting down?
