Audio Research LS-1 vs Anthem Pre 2L


I want to try a tube pre amp in my system which consists of Spica TC-60's, Hafler 9500 transnova amp and Marantz 63se CD player. Any thought on these two? I listen to a wide variety of popular, rock and folk music, especially female vocals. Thanks for your imput.

I think you got to give the new product an audition, give it a chance I think Pre-2L(all tube) will beat the LS1(hybird)!, not far for the sound but for the way that the pre-2L is easy to use and deal with home theater and remote If the price are close the old LS-1 got no chance!!
I agree with A2z, with the ls-2 it more like a match!! save a bid more so you'll enjoy the sound that you want! (but ls-2 still a hybird design)
