  for the tips and advice. I may be for naught. Been 2 days and I haven't heard back from him again after my last contact. He might have sold/unloaded it to someone else, I'll find out sooner or later, I guess.

  Thanks,
  Scott A.

  I had a brand new SP-5 one when they first came out way back when, it may have been the worst componant I ever bought very lifeless. On the other hand the D100 amp is a very good sounding amp I have had two of them but they proved not to be very reliable.

  Do you want to own hi-fi gear that was so bad 30 years ago it almost put ARC out of business?

  I really like ARC gear, but that stuff is dog food.

  The ARC SP-5 has all single ended inputs and outputs.Please see the Audio Research Database at arcb.ws/ .Although it is not an authorized site of ARC,it is a valuable resource.Unfortunately,I don't have experience with either of these products,so I will defer to another member with actual expertise and experience.

  having owned several of their components over a twenty five year span. I am quite pleased with my SP-9MKIII.

  Unfortunately, those components were from their dark era entering the SS world. While they may exhibit the typical high quality maintain-it-forever construction, the sound quality of those units suffers. I would audition them before buying.
