Most transparent, detailed Audio Research Preamp


Hi,
If I'm looking for a used Audio Research preamp (not the Reference series either!) that is detailed, open and transparent, which model should I look at?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
bill

Well, depending on taste and budget, SP9 MK III, LS3, LS16 Mk I or II, LS25 Mk 1 or 2. All are (to one degree and another) all of the things you're looking for-- although they all sound different from one another, and the LS16 and LS25 models are quite a bit superior to the older models.
