I owned an SP5 along with a D52B, purchased both new in 1979. The SP5, along with the SP4 were both SS with "Analog Modules" supposedly providing a "tube" like sound. The SP5 was very durable, but sonically okay, nothing to write home about. I should have gotten the SP6, but bad choices are as easy to make as good ones. You can do much better than an SP5.
AR SP-5 or Threshold Sl-10
Hi all,
I have an opportunity to get 2 preamps, the AR Sp-5 SS at $350 or Threshold SL-10 pre at $510. I haven't found much information around on either pre which isn't a very good sign. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of either one? Or opinion on whether I'm getting a decent buy?
Thanks,
Larry
