Our Thoughts RADAR AI

US$1,899 looks like a strong deal, assuming the unit is fully functional and complete. The model launched at roughly US$2,900, so this asking price represents a substantial discount for a discontinued, well-regarded design rather than an ambitious premium.

The Anniversary Edition is a particularly appealing SWL: a fast, dynamic 5687-based tube linestage with strong bass, natural tone, excellent drive capability, and a useful built-in headphone amplifier. The two main outputs and home-theater bypass add real system flexibility, while the optional phono stage increases desirability if fitted. Confirm whether the remote, correct tubes, and phono board are included, but at US$1,899 this is a buying opportunity, especially for a clean example.

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.
