RE: 12ax7 for ARC SP16

Posted by btbluesky on October 8, 2011 at 21:07:06:
Thank you guys! I ordered the gold lion, gonna try it with the SP16. Overall I'm very satisfy with this preamp. Gain is abit more, but damn it sounds neutral with a touch on the warm side, very nice.

The reason I didn't wait for the VS115 and just went with the VS110 was also because of the JFET. Frankly all tube is fine with me, no need with neutral JFET in those new ARC. I think I can live with this system for a very..very..long time.

My spk is Legacy Classic HD. full range with 94db. No complaint...nowaday I just sit back and relax, no swapping cables even.
