The only ARC preamp I would select over the Anniversary edition ( regardless of price) would be the Ref 10. But the Anniversary is a bargain at the used prices today ( 10 to 12k). The Ref 10 is incrementally better but I am not as familiar with pricing on used Ref 10s to advise. Rest assured, these 2 preamps are significantly better than any 1 piece preamp in the ARC line. And I am a big fan of the ARC line.
