Audio Research PH-8 Phono Preamp

For sale is my Audio Research PH-8 Phono Preamp. I am the second owner and I bought it from an Audio Research authorized dealer. I've rated it a 7 as there are a few marks on the black finish that I show in the pictures ... won't really notice once racked but they are there so I gave it a 7. Work perfectly though! An excellent sounding unit and the tubes have 810 hours on them ... usually need replacement around 2000 hours. Unit will ship in all original shipping material and boxes along with the remote. The tubes have been removed for shipping and secured in the original foam packaging and I've left the cover screws loose for easy removal. The tubes are numbered according to the slots on the main board so its easy to get them into the correct position. Shipping is free to CONTUS Happy to answer any questions ... George

Below was the summary from one review that I felt really hit the nail on the head so to speak ...
"The PH8 offers startling performance in every meaningful musical way.
Attributes include remarkable air, transparency, speed, focus, retrieval
of low-level detail, micro dynamics, and great tonal purity. Musically
this translates into an organic rightness that is very involving,
allowing the intent and art of the performance and performers to shine
through. For all of those music lovers who desire the performance of the
REF Phono 2 but simply cannot stretch to that exalted level, the PH8 is
the answer. They maintain a very similar perspective and are cut from
the same sonic cloth"
