It doesn't seem that anyone has compared the Modwright 36.5 two box pre to the AH 2.1. Anyone interested in an taking an educated guess as to how they might compare?
My educated guess is that the $9000 Modwright combo would be more refined, transparent, have a lower noise floor and create a larger image.
As far as sound signatures, I suspect they would sound more similar than not.
