No, it was the original SP9 that got the thumbs down from J. Gordon
Holt. The Mk.II got a more positive review in 1990. You can find both
reviews at www.stereophile.com/tubepreamps/739.

The Audio Research LS8 also got the thumbs down from Stereophile, in
Martin Colloms' review in March 1999, while Mikey Fremer was bothered
by some aspects of the VTM200 monoblock in Januar 2001.
