Audio Research LS27

Up far sale is my Audio Research LS27; I am the second owner, hence the 8/10 according to the a'gon rating scale. Original owner bought from dealer. Super clean internally, presents as new; Tubes have about 200 hours on them, but hour meter was not reset at the time of replacement indicating 2,500 hours (which is way under the lifespan of 6H30's; These tubes can go to 10,000 hours);
This preamplifier is visually stunning and, performance wise, near the very top. You have to step up to the Audio Research REF5 SE or REF10 to improve (and in a subtle way, NOT night and day; at this level of refinement we pay dearly for such slight changes); Numerous positive reviews on the LS27!
Wish I could keep this, but need to sell to fund other audio dreams (still on the merry go round and going to solid state);

Remote control is metal (nice and heavy);
