Default For Sale Audio Reseach Ref 5SE

I recently upgraded to the Ref 6, so I am putting up for sale my Audio Research Preamp REF 5SE ( not an upgrade ) comes with everything that came from factory.
Rated conservatively at 8/10 but the unit is has known slight distortion in clear top panel from 6550 tube heat. Shipping cost will be based on actual cost.

Priced here only at $5,995.00, 10% off other sites average price for same.

Add actual fees to price, if not using personal check.

Thanks for looking.

John

You should totally do it. Great preamp and would go so nicely with your new amp!

Let us know how you like it! :-)

Unfortunately I've been pushing Steve towards a Ref6. We'll see where he ends up.

I did tell him, and I'll tell everyone right now, that the ref5se is a fantastic preamp, and is very close to the ref6 for a lot less money on the used market. Someone is going to get a great deal here! GLWS!

Definitely worth consideration. I heard one some time ago and was blown away - just like I have been with all ARC Ref products.

Surprised I didn't get any offers, anyone have suggestions, like to sell to AA'er, too many sharks in the waters these days.
