Erik, I didn't find your OP trolly. But the SP10 is an 80s AR design and it is difficult to beat. But when Krell entered the market around that time with the KSA50, it had that era's valve amps beat. I still have mine and it's still very good.

@whart I was a purist so my SP10 is the original. It was said the microphony could be reduced by placing the amp between heavy steel or stone blocks but I have never tried. I still listen to it occasionally today in my second system; Zarathustra TT (Simon Yorke S2, very rare), Zeta, Ortofon Anna, into the Krell KSA50 and Audiostatic ES200. Very vintage, apart from the Anna. I must say I don't hear microphony in the AR. Most recognise SP10 as a classic and it still commands prices to match; was $4000 in the early 80s and nearly $3000 today. |
