Greetings to all!
I own this preamp and have seen some postings on the web that say that this is the worst preamp ever designed by ARC.
By their reputation, I would be very surprised to find that ARC would sell anything that was not very good. The build quality is as good as any equipment I have seen.
I see that Stereophile reviewed this unit in XIX-11,12, but it seems that these issues are unavailable. If anyone out there has these or anyone with experience with this unit, please enlighten me.
I do like the way my system sounds, it provides many hours of great listening bliss. I just wonder, like everyone else, if it could be better.
ARC cd3 mkII
LS-22
VT-100 mkIII
Dunlavy sm-1s
REL storm
This stuff is fun, Ain't it?
