I agree on the Jadis JP80MC. Without a doubt the finest tube preamp I have ever heard but a whole lot more money than the SP10. I would love to own one but it is more than I can afford.

The SP10 Mark II is one of the truly great vintage preamps. While it might not hold up compared to the very best available today it is wonderful. The SP11 is not in the same league. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I were you. Good luck.
