I think you should check with ARC on that; I think they might tell you it's not recommended - but that's just a guess

I tried a bunch (most of the popular choices, except Telefunken, which I'm sure would be good - just didn't have the opportunity to try those). For the most part Siemens (the older the better) were the winners. Enjoy the SP8 MkII - it's a classic.
