I saw a lot comments about "Deal of the Century". I am very impressed the advertisment. I don't plan to live a Century and only need a equipment for the next 20 years to enjoy some of the music that I like. I have tried to find a proper pre-amp to work well with my current ARC VT-100 and Aerial 10T Speaker for a few weeks. After some research with no upgrade at later time in mind, I came up four pre-amp:
ARC SP-11 MK2, ARC LS-5 MK2+PH3SE, BAT 75SE+ARC PH3SE, ARC SP-16(the newest) but was depressed the news about ARC is looking someone to take over. Anyone who is working on computer industry will fully understand my major concern. Does anyone have some experience on these pre-amp? Is supratek work better than these pre-amp on my current system? I know many of your guys are expert on this subject and willing to take your advice but I still did not see any of hard evidence about how good supratek is such as the equipment review from stereophile. Bwhite, thanks for bringing up the problems that you had with Mike. At least, I know this is not a perfect world. By thw way, I am in the process of ordering one from Mike. Your comments on my audio environments, will be greatly appreciated.
