I had the ARC SP9 and enjoyed it immensely for 10 years. But ultimately I had to face the same dilemma that you are facing right now. I listened to lots of different preamps before i finally settled on CAT Ultimate Preamp. It's an absolute masterpiece of work. Trust me, I listened to a lot of preamps. Good luck
Replacing SP11 mK2
I have a Audio Research SP11 Mk2 that is showing its age.
I need some ideas on a replacement that is alot better.
I want to stick with ARC. I cannot aford the Ref.
In my 11 I have Mit caps in line stage and Infinicaps in phono stage, i only point this out for reference.It is much better than a stock 11
Any advice would be welcome
