You really need to hear them all for yourself paired with the amp of your choice. Most people would be happy to own any one of these three preamps; but then the people in these forums are not "most" people.
Pre: Audible Illusions vs Joule-Electra vs ARC?
Audible Illusions Modulus 2 or 3 vs
Joule-Electra LA-100, LA-150 vs
ARC SP-14?
Can anybody familiar with 2 or 3 of these speak to the sonic character of these preamps?
Older or newer versions. I pick these because at some point for each, I've heard somebody type about its clarity, open high end, transparency, and resolving power. I want super resolving and open high end (shimmering, sparkling, detailed?). Would be paired with the best amp I can afford, SS (McCormack, Bryston?) or tube (CJ, VTL?).
Thanks.
