Hi Graham. They are both excellent. The ARC gear is wonderful. People tend to group the ARC gear into some sort of non musical, mechanical camp. But I have to tell you, as a long time ARC listener, the new stuff is really great, and very musical, as you heard, no doubt... It also has a rifinement that the other gear does not.
That said, any gear attached to a Shindo preamp is addicting. I have been using an Audionote L4 amp with the Shindo preamp and it sounds great! I like both!
