Add one more for the LS28SE, I have had mine about 2 years and am very pleased with the performance. I did have a REF5SE and it was a great piece, long story short, I tried solid state and bought the LS28SE and really think it is so close to the performance of the REF5 and way less heat produced.
Audio Research Pre-Amp advice
Hi, what would be a good used Audio Research pre-amp that has a remote, that is overall very musical. My budget is under 6K? I really don't want any Ref. pre's because too many tubes. Also something not too old, I do not want to have to bring in for service. I welcome and appreciate any advice. Thank you!
