Been looking at this too. Hundo off regular price and seems to be very well-regarded. Picked up a Modwright 9.0SE pre recently and the previous owner was using it with a STA 200. There's also the Nuprime STA 9 that I find interesting. More power but more expensive by a couple hundred.
He seemed to be pretty happy with it, though we talked more about the preamp than his Nuforce amp. After picking up the Modwright I now see the light with regard to nice pre's. Kept wondering what all the fuss is about. I have to say it has been the piece that has made the biggest difference for me so far. YMMV.What did he think of it?

Just for S's & G's, I hooked up an Allo Volt+ board that I've had around but never got around to playing with. Using a linear regulated power supply with it. I am now putting serious thought to selling off my two favorite amps (Pass F5 clone and RH Universal-based SEP). Have had the Modwright/Volt+ set up as my primary for the past couple weeks and I just don't feel like I'm missing out on very much by subbing the Volt+ in for the F5 or SEP amp.

While the sound signatures of the three amps are somewhat different, satisfaction-wise it's pretty dang close. The F5 and SEP amp were kind of milestone upgrades for me so it's hard to let them go. But it feels kinda goofy to hang on to them when I have the Volt+ for like $80 all in. Then I could use the dough from selling the other amps toward our home improvement fund.Wow. Thats impressive. Everytime I sit down and listen to music with my Allo Volt+, I say to myself, can it get any better???
Modwright SWL 9.0 SE. The thing is awesome to me.What Modright are you running with it and what linear power supply?

Here's the power supply. There's even a positive review from poultrygeist. https://www.amazon.com/Pyramid-3-Am...ords=pyramid+ps3kx+3-amp+12-volt+power+supply

Looking forward to your impression of it. Sounds like the demo model was already scooped up?Guess I get to hear for myself.

I can relate.Nah but for only $100, I would rather have brand new.
But it has shipped so should be here Sat or Sunday! It's going to be a GREAT weekend!
