I just put an ARC SP-9 Mk III preamp into my home theater system.
I put NOS Golden Dragon tubes (China) in, that I had stored away.
Blew away the Pass labs X1 used before. Much more warmth, 3D, and presence.
My home theater system:
Sony HDTV
Apple TV box
Sony BLu-ray player
Schiit Gungnir (gumby)
Cardas Golden Cross to SP-9
ARC SP 9
Cardas Cross to Son of Ampzilla 2000
Cardas Golden Cross speaker cables
Magnepan IIIa speakers
Sounds fantastic!
