Pre Amp Question. Old or New?

Hi all,

Getting back in the game after many years away. I've aquired a Rogue Stereo 100 amp and I anticipated pairing it with a Rogue RP-5 preamp. However, I am intrigued by the ARC preamps I see for sale. How would the performance compare between an older ARC SP-14 and the Rogue RP-5? What do you think?

Thanks!

Sorry, I forget to mention that my Stereo 100 is the Dark version. Lots of people mentioning the LTA. Not familiar with that unit at all but it seems to have a following. Thanks to everyone for your recommendations. I have much to decipher going forward.

looking for a good pre amp. Benchmark LA-4 , made in NY, 30 day free trial. Rory, great to deal with. Look up the reviews. I have 2 systems, one in each. Robert TN

LTA makes nice products but be warned they are not True balanced preamps despite them having XLR connectors. If you require this look elsewhere.
