Since I've never heard, much less owned, either piece you should take my comments as hear-say (or heresy, if you prefer). I believe the general feeling is that the LS-5 is one of the all time greats from ARC. Bear in mind that it has XLR (balanced) inputs and outputs ONLY. If you need RCA ins/outs in the future, this could be a problem as it's not as simple as using adapters. Leonard at ARC can explain why.
ARC LS-5MKIII or ARC LS-25MKII
Hi,
I am looking for a second hand preamp to my SONY SCD-555ES player(moded European model with balanced outputs), ARC CL-120 amps(balanced), Proac One Sc speakers set up.
I have two offers: ARC LS5 MKIII and LS25MKII for roughly the same price.
Would need the help of those who had the chance to compare these preamps or owned them.
Any comment would be welcomed!
Thanks,
Csaba
