Check out AVforum.com,there is the club Arcam subsection.I also own the C-30 preamp and is great sounding SS preamp.Compared to RC-1070,it has much better separation,dynamics and lower noise floor.The newer model,C-31 is said to be even better in the micro-dynamics retreival.If you dont need many inputs and remote,i,ll second the use of Lavry or Benchmark. Good luck.
