ARC LS26

Since no one else has responded I'll throw in my limited knowledge. I don't think this piece is a commercial reality yet. It does not show up on the ARC web site and I don't think they showed it at CES. The only place I have seen it is on the ARC Data Base (not affiliated with ARC). If someone knows this preamp is being sold please speak up!

Of course as soon as I say it isn't on the ARC web site it appears! Still doubt that anyone has bought this yet, but you never know!

Thanks, I was wondering how the LS26 stacks up to the Ref3.
Anyone heard the "Jr" yet?

For what it's worth, I bought an LS25mk2 last year after hearing the Ref3, even though I was guessing the LS26 was imminent. It came down a different sonic signature, and I know of others that prefer the LS25mk1 for similar reasons but in the other direction again from the LS25mk2. You may want to compare them before dropping the coin.
