Audio Research D240 MkII vs D130


My D100 just died, so I'm looking at a used ARC amp, since the wife won't let me spend the $ for new. The D240 MK2 on ARCDB shows 120 watts at 8ohms and the D130 shows 130 at 8ohms. Anyone hear both of these? Which would give better sound stage, smoothness and reliability? I'm hooking one of these up to an ARC LS3 preamp.

The D240 MK II is much superior to the D130.

I owned the D240 MK II for years. It was very good!
