MOSFET vs BJT amplifier output stages While many debate the merits of Tube vs Solid State designs, Within the solid-state camp there is another important distinction: MOSFET vs BJT amplifier output stages. Both are transistors and can produce exceptional results, but they behave differently — both electrically and sonically. And as is always the case…

Tube vs Solid State Power: This debate has been around far longer than the twenty-six years ModWright has been in business. It is a valid point of discussion with no right or wrong answer. As with many things audio-related, it’s a matter of physics, design and system synergy. Many describe tubes as warm, dimensional and…

While Tubes have always been a part of high end audio, there is much debate about them today. They have arguably higher distortion and don’t measure as well as SS circuits. But yet, they are still very much a part of high-end audio today. The key to this is in the way tubes handle distortion…

Analog playback is critically impacted by your choice of phono stage, and a good design will give you the most from your cartridge and analog rig. Gain, headroom, loading, noise and stereo/mono playback are all considerations for optimal analog playback. Consider the fact that a signal is being created by a stylus travelling the micro…

I have been thinking about the audio journey to date that is ModWright. I considered where it began, what inspired and carried us this far, down different paths, to where we are now. ModWright was not born from a business plan or concept. It evolved from a curiosity and desire to know more and be better.…
