Fan in Audio Research tube pre-amp


Do audio research pre-tube like LS26, LS27, Ref 3 and ref 5 all come with fans? If they do, is the fan noise noticeable?

There is a lot of fans of all of these preamps, and yes, some of these fans are very vocal about their love of them! Does that make them loud? I don't know, but I see some of them typing in all caps - which I think is the equivalent of shouting ; )

For the most part, ARC uses fans in some of their amps, but I don't know of any current or recent model preamps with fans. I have owned two ARC preamps, neither with fans for cooling.
