About the SWL 9.0 SE

The ModWright SWL 9.0 SE is a tube linestage preamplifier designed by Dan Wright, featuring a pair of Philips 5687 tubes per channel, known for their musicality and clarity without typical tube distortion. It offers four line-level inputs plus a fifth input with tape/monitor loop and a home theater bypass, allowing integration with multi-channel systems. The preamplifier includes two sets of outputs, a remote control for volume and mute, and a hybrid headphone amplifier. It is praised for its broad frequency response, precise imaging, and dynamic soundstage, delivering a full-frequency tube sound without exaggerated warmth. The unit is built with high-quality components and hand-crafted in the USA, weighing approximately 28.5 lbs with dimensions of 17"W x 12"D x 4.5"H. The SWL 9.0 SE is no longer in production but remains highly regarded for its value and performance.
