The first "analog module" SS ARC stuff (SP-4, D-100) was horrible! Harry Pearson raked those products over the coals when they were released (remember he liked their previous work and considered the SP-3a SOTA). Similarly, I have been an ARC fan for decades having purchased my first preamp from them in 1981. It was an SP-6 which was Bill Johnson's answer to the constructive criticism of the SP-4. I use an SP-9 MKIII to this day. Great stuff.
