Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

Some descriptions of ARC preamps in another thread brought to mind, once again, why would someone want an expensive tube preamp that is very neutral when they can get a really good sounding neutral solid state pre for, possibly, less cost and maintenance? The solid state might even have better bass and detail. Not knocking ARC sound...I had an LS7 many moons ago, just wondering.
