Audio Research Reference 10

Audio Research "TOP OF THE LINE" Reference Line Stage Preamplifier.
Amazing unit with incredible sound. One owner used in reference caliber system in temperature controlled room with no pets. 1111 hours on the unit so its broken in and sounding great.
Ships in two boxes that total 70 pounds.
I will ship FED EX ground in the US at a flat rate with full insurance
