For sale is my own Modwright SWL-9.0 SE Signature tube preamplifier with motorized remote control. This unit was purchased new for the purposes of a product review, and I acquired it from the reviewer in 2005. Later, I sent the unit back to Dan Wright to upgrade to Signature status: 5AR4 tube rectified power supply and revised preamplifier circuit with all premium components (BlackGates, Sonicaps, etc). Somewhere along the line I also had him convert it to use the Modwright branded custom remote.
There aren't a ton of options for rolling the 5687 tubes, but I settled on the Sylvania "Gold Brand" GB5687's and ran them for many years. I was lucky to find several NOS sets that were not microphonic. The best GB5687 pair I have is installed in this preamp. I also replaced the 5AR4 tube with a NOS Mullard.
This preamp is a solid 8/10 on the Audiogon scale for age. The front panel and rear panels are perfect. A small paint mark on the right panel (highlighted in the picture) is the only cosmetic flaw. Functionally, the preamp is flawless- everything works, and it sounds great.
I don't have a manual or factory box anymore, but the preamp will be packed securely and the operation is self-explanatory. Plus, Dan is always helpful with answers to questions if you have them.

Now harder to find in clean condition, these are still one of the best tube preamp values on the market. +3% for PayPal. If you are in Northern California, you may opt to see it and pay in person. While I've not been active on Audiogon recently, my transaction history is flawless, as is my eBay history (fly*ride). Buy with confidence - you will be pleased with this preamp.
Exactly what you'll get: Modwright SWL-9.0 SE Signature preamplifier, remote, power cord, Mullard 5AR4 power supply tube and Sylvania GB5687 double triode tubes installed
