    Smile Pre-amp advice... Upgrade!

    I'm moving on my ARC ref 3, which has been amazing. I wasn't planning on doing this but life goes on. I have the following requirements:

    Budget <6k
    Really big stereo image
    As I have a lot of valves (lampizator GG2 and ARC 140's) I don't mind going solid state (or valve again if it's good) but I'd like a reasonably neutral sounding pre
    Nothing new - I don't plan on losing thousands
    Nothing that's really hard to sell on

    What do you think?

    Cheers, Tim

    I've had the AVI S2000MP, and now use the ATC SCA2, the former much cheaper but better specified being single ended., and I cannot hear a difference between the latter and the best really superbly specified Benchmark.

    I love the minimal simplicity of the ATC.

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
