i just sold a arc ls-12 here on audiogon. it was the last of their solid state preamps.
if i was to describe the sound, i would say extremly neutral and transparent.in fact it is most uncolored pre i have heard to date.
the only interconnect that i liked in my system with it was the xlo signature II and the coincident and wireworld eclipse. all others were too colored too enjoy.
other reviewers said it didnt have enough "air" on top. i found that to be true for the first 2-3 months. once the unit broke in, it was a completely different animal.
hope that helps !!!
