I think you will be disappointed if you don't stick with ARC. I suggest you kick in a little more $$ or keep what you have.
Replacing ARC SP-12
Want to replace my SP-12 with a new Pre that has remote.
Have had the SP-12 and D-90 amp for many years and now using them to play digital files off my PC through a Music Streamer 2.
Great sound but would really like a Pre with remote (getting lazy I guess).
I was hoping to keep it around $1000 figuring I can get $400-500 for the SP-12 and kick in another $500 or so.
Really like ARC gear but rather pricey to get a Pre w/remote so I'm looking for alternatives that nicely match the tube D-90.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
