Audio Research LS10



Been checking around for more info/review on the ARC LS10 but not much luck. How does it compare to any other model especially the other ARC solid state pre amps.

My local dealer had one two years ago. I took it home for an audition. When I tried it, a problem surfaced - there was no isolation between inputs - in other words a signal applied to input x was still quite audible when another input was selected. After the dealer sent it back to ARC for repair, I tried it again.

This time it worked fine. I liked the sound. It was very neutral with good bass control. I would have kept it except for one thing - I really wanted a remote controlled phase inversion switch which the LS-10 didn't support.

I ended up with a Krell KRC-HR.

There was a favorable review of this preamp in the now defunct Fi magazine, but I can't recall which issue. I remember the reviewer commenting on the large power supply and good dynamics of the preamp.
