By Jeff Dorgay
I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Kessler that a mint SP-11 is not at all out of place in a modern system today, and he’s spot on for the price of a mint unit. Fortunately, a call to my good friend Jonathan Spelt at Ultra Fidelis, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, yielded the one you see in this article for slightly less. It even included the factory’s original, dual-box packaging—essential if you are paying top dollar.
In the context of a six-figure system, the SP-11 (mine is a Mk II version) holds its own with the REF 5 SE and REF Phono 2 SE that I use as daily reference units. Granted, the newer models offer up more frequency extension, dynamic slam, and a bit more inner detail, but the vintage pre is so damn good in every way, I could easily live with an SP-11 and ignore what I’m missing. A little help from Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio resulted in a great set of NOS tubes, taking my SP-11 to an even higher level.
And the phonostage is fantastic. As more and more rack space seems requisite these days, it’s wonderful to revisit this concept of a great linestage and phonostage all in one chassis, much to the chagrin of the wire barons. I defy you to find anything this good built new today for anywhere near this price."
