Audio Research SP9 MKII


Hello
Found two ARC SP9's for sale.  The first is the MKII with 6h23p-eb Russian 6922 tubes
the second was a SP9 that was sent back to ARC and upgraded to the MKII, it has 2-6922 Sovtek Tubes installed .

Question,  given they are both about the same price should which one would be the best one to purchase?

I have an SP 9 Mk II coupled with a D130 and MMG’s. After 40 years I have tamed CD’s of their early high end stridency. It’s a lowly system but I absolutely love it; and ARC still fully supports both products. Could not be happier.
