I recently purchased and AR SP-3 that was in need of a complete restoration. I had read great reviews about this preamp and wanted to try one. So I sent her to Mike Samra to do the job. Once I got it back I mated it with my Citation II Amp and Klipsch Lascala's, and all I can say is I was blown away. I was using a restored citation I preamp before and this baby is in a different league. This unit is dead quiet and the character it gives my music is amazing. I now see why this is considered one of the greatest vintage preamps. Music is so real and the dynamics are so incredible. Mike did an outstanding job. His craftsmanship was great and his selection of components mated well with this unit. I am going to try and upload a pic for everyone to see the great work. |

That is a beauty! I am looking forward to Mike finishing a Sansui 1000A for me. Best, Dave |
