Ralf11 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 12 minutes ago, Richard Dale said: They may well do today, but as at 1989 or when the SP9 mkII was being sold (I bought one then and still have it, so I have some personal interest in the lifetime of its caps), it had rel caps. Here is a picture of one: pic is broke but my ARC pre-amp is an LS25 Mk II https://www.arcdb.ws/LS25/LS25.html So, sometime between 1989 to 2000 or so was the change-over. Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I'd keep the SP 9 for the switches and knobs alone... Link to comment
