The main thing here, Tom, is ARC going back to the 12AX7 tube. Appearently Johnson has been taken with the Electro Harmomix 12AX7-EH tube. The full price as I understood it to be, was $2495.00 with phono. It has been too long since a "full" preamp with phono, and tubes, and a FAIR price was offered by this company. From its knobless facia to it's new look (for ARC), this could be something to get excited about. I hear from friends, its wonderful. Hope its true.......Frank
new ARC preamps
I see that Audio Research is going back to the SP format with phono stage
I saw a new piece SP-16 (I think)
It was all rca connections, even pre amp out
Looked nice, sounded nice for the little time I had to evaluate it and best of all only $2900
any comments from others on this piece and how it compares to their ls line
