Audio Research AR 5600 MkII


Does anyone know anything at all about the Audio Research AR 5600 MkII Limited Edition receiver?

I have an opportunity to pick one up for next to nothing, in working condition (a little bit of cleaning required) and am wondering if anyone has experience with it.

I can't seem to find anything about it at all on the 'net.

Any information would be appreciated.(quality, reliability, sound, wpc etc)

thanks in advance

I inherited this exact 350W made in a Korea old analog receiver from my mother’s estate. It is an oldie but goodie. I have it in my garage and it pumps my old Fidelio speakers. It takes about 5 seconds to warm up. it crackles a bit when adjusting volume and the tuning knob creaks a bit when selecting stations. I estimate that it is from about 1978 or so. Did you end up buying it 12 years ago?
