There is a lot of fans of all of these preamps, and yes, some of these fans are very vocal about their love of them! Does that make them loud? I don't know, but I see some of them typing in all caps - which I think is the equivalent of shouting ; )
For the most part, ARC uses fans in some of their amps, but I don't know of any current or recent model preamps with fans. I have owned two ARC preamps, neither with fans for cooling.
