Audible Illusions 3A or Modwright SWL9.0Signature?

These two pre-amps are too close to call. Both have received excellent reviews. However, from the aspect of dynamics, accuracy and especially MUSICALITY, which pre-amp might have the edge???.... Also, though it is almost twice as expensive as the above units, how does the Rowland's Concerto pre-amp rate?? There are hardly any reviews of the unit.

Hi Sunny

I currently have in my system the SWL9.0 Signature and it is excellent. I don't know the AI-3A but if it anything like the Modwright I would be shocked. The 9.0SE is pretty transparent and betters any Levinson or Krell unit and certainly many highly recommended CJ preamps I have had in the system.

I can only highly recommend the 9.0SE as an excellent preamp at the price and if it were double the price it would still be a bargain!
