Which ARC pre-amp with ARC 150.2?

Speakers are Klipsch Heresy and cd player is NAIM 3.5. The audio research sound has always been my favorite. I looking for a tube amp that's a great value.

Many thanks.

GREAT SOUND! The AI preamp is wonderful with the 150.2. No remote and tube choice is somewhat limited, but the sound is killin!!! I have a SP16 ARC with a Bryston 3BST/SCE HRS interface that's great as well. Hope this helps!

I like the SP-series ARCs because they include a phono stage for my vinyl. But with the older ARCs you have to consider getting them serviced, since the caps and tubes are probably near the end of their lives. I sent mine back to ARC, and they replaced the caps and tubes.
