Anyone have any thoughts on Audio Research REF 1


I am looking closely at buying an Audio Research Ref 1. I'm concerned that it is an 8+ year old design. At the same time, it was very highly rated in it's day. Any experiences you can share would be appreciated.

I owned one a couple of years ago. It was an outstanding preamp. If you have a great FM tuner, you are in for a real treat with the Ref 1. I've bought the Ref2 Mk2 and the Ref3 since. But all of them were excellent in their own way in my opinion.
