best solid state preamp from Audio Research?

I liked the LS 9 I had for about a year and the only reason I sold it was because the volume control didn't have small enough incremental changes up and down. Sometimes the setting between one notch up or down on the volume would have sounded best. It provided a very large, transparent sound stage with good instrument placement in the sound stage.

I've had the LS3, LS9 and LS12. The LS12 sounded the best.

I vote for LS3B,I have one since in a secondary system and I am very pleased.

The LS-10 is outstanding.
