Audio Research Reference 300 MK2 mono amplifiers for sale. Tubes have 500 hours on them.

First, the sonic improvements embodied in the MKII version are nothing short of monumental. The MKII has much more apparent speed than the original, and conveys microdynamics and subtle timbrel details with much higher resolution. Image focus, the sense of body given to notes and voices, and tonal coherence from high frequencies to bass notes are all noticeably better. There is a sense of seamless resolution in the sound stage which, through an appropriate loudspeaker system, is simply mesmerizing with well-recorded material. Finally, the sense of power conveyed by these amplifiers is much more apparent on big dynamic swings -- they have effortless muscle when called for, yet they are capable of amazing delicacy in the next moment.
