Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall

An excerpt from ARCDB web site:

"Tube stereo preamplifier.

"As a result of the ever-increasing demand for a full-function preamplifier with a level of performance substantially above that of the SP17, we are pleased to introduce the striking new SP20 vacuum-tube preamplifier. Influenced by some of our classic groundbreaking SP preamplifiers but with performance that is only achievable by our best LS- and PH-series designs, the SP20 offers inspirational performance combined with real value. ..."

MSRP is $9000 -- a veritable bargain. ;-(

No problem using a .23mV Kansui with a PH-6. The PH-6 has far more gain versus any of the older SP preamps you mention.

If the SP series will handle .2mV then any of the modern ARC phono preamps, i.e. PH-5, PH-6, PH-7, PH-8, etc., will work fine.

I know I have owned the SP-10, SP-14, PH-5, PH-6. The PH series are much, much better with LOMC(.2mV) versus any of the SP series. The SP-20 will have similar gain to the PH-6.
