Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a buyer’s market for used tube buffers, and USD 2,499 looks fair to slightly attractive for the Analog Bridge—not a giveaway, but below its roughly USD 2,900 new price and in line with recent used examples around USD 2,400–USD 2,650. It becomes a particularly good buy if this is the balanced version, whose new-price premium was substantial.

The Bridge is a specialized unity-gain tube buffer rather than a conventional volume-control preamp, adding tube warmth, body, and tonal flexibility while maintaining a very low output impedance. Its switchable 6SN7/6922 tube complement lets you tune presentation from fuller and airier to quicker and more incisive. At this price, confirm whether all tubes are included, verify RCA versus XLR configuration, and check for quiet operation; otherwise, a clean, complete example is a worthwhile purchase.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About ModWright Instruments

ModWright Instruments is an American hi-fi brand founded in 2000 by Dan Wright, who remains the company’s founder and chief designer. The company is based in Amboy, Washington, and began as a modification outfit for digital audio products before evolving into a full component manufacturer.

Today, ModWright is best known for high-end tube and hybrid electronics, especially preamplifiers, phono stages, power amplifiers, headphone amplifiers, and DACs. Its product line also includes some solid-state amplification, but the brand’s identity is rooted in analog-friendly, meticulously voiced components rather than loudspeakers, turntables, or accessories.

In the market, ModWright sits firmly in the high-end, niche-boutique segment. Its reputation is built on handcrafted build quality, a strong tube-audio aesthetic, and a “musical” presentation that appeals to experienced listeners looking for refinement and character rather than mass-market convenience.
