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

Thanks for the great feedback guys. Does the Threshold for around $500 seem like a good deal? Too bad about the SP5, but its what I figured based on the lack of reviews I could find about it (not to mention its $600 price new).

Could you tell me anything about the sound character of the Theshold SL-10? Warm, cool, revealing, airy, presence, bottom end, etc? Thanks again.
Has anyone had any experiene with the sp4, which I'm pretty sure was the first solid state ar ?
