I use an Audio Research LS26 preamp in my system, driving a Mac MC402. Neutral, sublime would be the easiest way to describe the sound. Have never had an issue with the LS26 proper, it works flawlessly and reliably. But last time I replaced tubes I had one go bad after only about eight months. ARC gave me a discount when I reordered tubes because of the short time I had the pair that went bad. I'd recommend ARC without hesitation.
