Audio Research LS-15

Up for sale is a classic Audio Research LS15 tube preamplifier. I am the second owner. 

This preamp is in very clean condition - especially for its late-90s vintage. Please take a close and careful look at my included photographs. Sonically, the LS15 sounds great and performs as intended. The preamp has been used sparingly and I believe is still on the original set of vacuum tubes.

The LS15 comes with original factory packaging. Please note that the outer box - just the box, not the preamp - incurred some water damage while in an outdoor storage facility. However, the inside carton is fine as is the foam. The preamp comes with remote and power cord - no manual. [The manual is still available in PDF on ARC's website.] Will ship triple-boxed within 48 hours of payment, via UPS Ground. 

Please check my extensive, long-term feedback; I am one of Audiogon's charter members. Thank you for your interest! 

From Audio Research:

The LS15 is a line-level preamplifier which replaces the LS2/2BMKII series. It features all-tube gain (12 dB standard) using four 6922 twin triode tubes in a Class A, fully differential zero feedback (balanced) circuit with electronically regulated high and low-voltage supplies. The LS15 includes handheld IR remote control of all essential front-panel functions. An onboard microprocessor controls a 70-step electronic relay attenuator and 5-position input selector. An additional Direct input (balanced) provides a highest-signal-purity path for your favorite music source. A total of two balanced and five single-ended (including tape) dedicated inputs are included.
Main outputs are balanced and single-ended, with one pair of single-ended tape outputs. Spring-activated toggle switches activate electronic relays to control key functions with minimal signal degradation. Factory-set gain of 18 dB is optional at no charge. The anodized front panel is available in natural aluminum or black, cabinet style or with rack-mount holes.
