AR SP-5 or Threshold Sl-10

Hi all,

I have an opportunity to get 2 preamps, the AR Sp-5 SS at $350 or Threshold SL-10 pre at $510. I haven't found much information around on either pre which isn't a very good sign. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of either one? Or opinion on whether I'm getting a decent buy?

Thanks,
Larry

Well I own an SL-10 and just upgraded to T3si Threshold.
I kept the SL-10. It's old and excellent, the T3si for a lot more money is marginally better and doesn't do phono.

The AR is a good pre but not in the same sonic league as the SL-10. It was state of the art when built and not far behind now. It's still and excellent pre, the state of the art hasn't moved very far.
