Apparently ARC can also add a remote to the SP9 for about $700. Ouch!!! More curiously though is how well the SP9 mkIII or modded version would compare to say a newer sp16 or the like. It seems as though modding or upgrading is really pricey and there are quite a few newer models available on Audiogon for less than the cost of the mods. I'm asking because I am considering an SP9 myself.
I had the MKIII upgrade done a year ago. There is a noticable improvement in sound quality, that I believe was worth the $800 cost. While the advice to sell your MKII and buy a MKIII on Audiogon is economically sound, I should mention that ARC included a really nice screwdriver when they returned my upgraded SP-9!!!
