I am looking closely at buying an Audio Research Ref 1. I'm concerned that it is an 8+ year old design. At the same time, it was very highly rated in it's day. Any experiences you can share would be appreciated.
A/R gear is built to last. I have owned several pieces and never a problem. With normal wear will last for many many years. If you need service AR will fix it.
