    Yeah, I'm slowly building a system and had my eyes on a used Luxman integrated. But this deal popped up, and it was kind of hard to say no. It's not in the current Modwright line, and Dan Wright himself says that his new mid-level preamp is better, but at the price, yeah, even he said go for it.

    I was trying to get away from tubes, also, and into class A. But, on the other hand, I tend to like a certain fatness or wetness or dimensionality that tubes bring to the table, and there's an argument for pairing a tube pre with a solid-state power amp, so maybe that's what I'll look into.

    The LS 36.5 only uses three tubes, so it's not a huge investment in glass either. I was initially looking for an amp I could leave on all day, but maybe that's not really class A either. It's not like Class A isn't a bit of a lifestyle choice also.

    Well i think the sound quality is worth any “inconvenience “. I switched away from tubes as well but luckily i’m still very happy with the preamp i have(phonitor x). Though a modwright… well well well.
