ModWright LS 100 Full Tube Line Stage Preamp with Remote Control
FREE SHIPPING!
New LS 100 tube single-ended preamp from ModWright Instruments!
The design goal of the LS 100 was to pick up where the 9.0SE, the company's first product to be produced, over seven years ago, to the next level. Their goal was improved sonics, aesthetics and functionality. Without a doubt, they succeeded on all counts!
The LS 100 is a single-ended design with 10 function remote control, (2) 6SN7 (Driver) and (1) 5AR4/GZ34(and equivalents) rectifier. The unit features a single gain/buffer stage, five standard inputs, one monitor input and tape output, one Home Theater Bypass (HT/BP) input and three main sets of RCA outs.
The operating points of the 6SN7 tubes are very conservative, insuring long life. The substantial power supply is located as far away from sensitive input signals as possible and power transformer is mounted vertically to limit stray emissions in the plane of the audio signal.
The headphone circuit is a purely discrete MOSFET based follower circuit, biased in Class A. This as opposed to the typical op-amp based “afterthought” offered by many manufacturers.
The volume and balance controls are also located as close to input signals as possible, minimizing noise levels.
The two internal 20-pin sockets will accept the optional phono or DAC boards. (Phono design is being finalized right now and DAC upgrade to follow later this year).
The taller chassis allows for greater range of rectifier choices, including 5U4GB, 5V4GB, 5U4G. Some 5V4G will also work, but check height as many are very tall, such as the EML 5U4 and will not fit. Inside chassis dimensions are 5".
Remote Control Functions Include:
* Power
* Standby
* Two remote trigger outputs.
* Selectable balance control, may be bypassed for cleaner signal path
* Volume control
* Mute
* Input select
* Monitor input select
Preamp Functions Include:
* Upgrade slot for Optional in-board DAC or Phono stage.
* Built in headphone amp fed via tube driver stage.
* Home Theater Bypass, selectable with unit powered off.
* All push-button control - no toggle switches.
The LS 100 is built in the same size enclosure as the KWA 100 amplifier and has the same lines and aesthetics, including backlit logo.
Sonically, the LS 100 offers outstanding musicality and resolution, along with excellent dynamics for a sense of power and control. It's perfectly balanced for the ideal musical experience!
Frequency response is flat from 20Hz to well beyond 100Khz. Soundstage is extremely wide and detail and microdynamics co-exist with a tube warmth and natural musical presentation that must be experienced!
