Hi to all,
A reliable source told me ARC is planning to bring back the ARC SP 11 for a limited time only. Any fellow inmate/ ARC aficionado heard about this? My source was wondering why the SP 11 and not the SP10.

Was there something "special" about the SP-11 ?
Back in the day 1985 to 88 it was the preamp to be had it cost a whooping $6000 . Every reviewer had to have it. It was a marvel during that time.

Thank You! Mondial.
Your welcome.
And bit difficult. With the nostalgia surrounding the SP3 series, it would seem more likely it would be the basis for a retro unit along with the Dual 50 or 75/76. Then partner with Magnum to add an ARC faceplate on one of their tuners. Saul did it with Fisher so, why not again.

Or am I just imgagining things?
Would be cool if ARC brings it back though. Would like to see the SP 10 too.

No, I don't always agree with some of her opinions, but she's tried out a LOT of equipment, and I think her thoughts are worth taking a look at.
Whatever happen to Elizabeth and the other ARC enthusiast Bambi it seems they're no longer posting.
And the SP17?
And the D100.2?

The SP 6B is still the best pre-amp I've yet heard, though my current tubed pre might be better. But you can see that I am quite behind the times re ARC.
Still, were I to buy an ARC tubed pre do-over today, it would have the be the SP-3 in some incarnation because I need tone controls -- decades of variously recorded vinyl.

Forgive my ARC ignorance but why the SP11? Does it have Remote Control? Aren't there better ARC preamps in their current product lineup?
Is this mainly a play on nostalgia hoping to hook a few sentimental buyers at exorbitant prices?
Thanks.
I can only afford "limited time offer donuts".
My favourite: Krispy Kreme Key Lime.
Its limited time cause they are only going to make one..
I would love to try one, but perhaps (probably) I won't have the readies?

I too was wondering why the SP11 . Once in a while they're available in the used market. There's one right now ,available for sale at Audiogon for $3500. No news when ARC will restart to manufacture them.
Love the cartoon!
Thanks! for sharing.
