If you are going to tube roll for sound differences, then consider the tubes in each:
Modwright: (2)6C45's, (2)6N1P's, (2)5687 tubes
ARC SP16: 12AX7 (3 or 6 depending on LS with/withou phono)
I do not think you can go wrong with either. Look at connections, features, etc. for that final choice.
Listen to both and decide for yourself!
That's a great suggestion, if he can find them to audition. When you are buying used it is a lot harder to find the components to audition.

Right. I quoted the SWLP and not the SWPActually, the Modwright SWL 9.0SE only uses (1) 5AR4 and (2) 5687's.
Exactly! Who's buying this thing? Me or you.........then why do you want my opinion?
First of all, I want to thank you all for the postings which help me a lot since I cannot auditon the ARC and will probably be able to listen to the MW. I am also very grateful to the sharing of knowledge being so new to this world. I am enjoying the journey towards the finalization of my system. Going back to the above questions:
1 - 15 x 15
2 - WIP probably an ARC VS55
3 - reason of this posting
4 - WIP considering a Jolida JD100
5 - WIP considering DH Labs Silver Sonic Q-10. interconnects DH Labs Silver Sonic Air Matrix.
6 - jazz, r&B and anything that sounds good to us
thanks
