Conclusion: No, no ! Sentence first—verdict afterwards.

I was mightily impressed with the Audio Research Reference 1
preamplifier and VT200 power amplifier. They rival the best equipment
I've ever heard, and put most of the rest to shame. They are undeniably
expensive, but no one examining their construction quality could
conceive of them costing any less. They are reliable, remarkable
performers, and anyone who can afford them and who is interested in
hearing the state of the tube art should audition them immediately. As
for the rest of us, this is gear worth dreaming of.

Description: Tube stereo line stage.

From the ARC website:

The most advanced design ever offered by Audio Research. All vacuum-tube gain (12 or 18 dB) with full microprocessor
control of volume, balance, record and input selection. Fully regulated power supplies, dedicated power and logic
transformers and four isolated circuit modules with audiophile-grade components throughout. No mechanical switches
degrade the signal path; electronic relays are used exclusively. All front-panel functions (including mute and phase
inversion) are achievable via the included handheld remote control. Both balanced and single-ended inputs (eight plus
full tape/processor loop) and outputs (two main, one tape) are offered, allowing simple connection to any conceivable
input source. Reference Series products feature anodized quarter-inch side panels with countersunk fasteners for clean
lines and enduring mechanical integrity.
