What are the tubes are in it? Are they the stock tubes? I bought an ARC preamp a few years ago and someone had replaced the original tubes with the cheapest Electro Harmonix tubes money can buy.
arc ref5-se
I have been entertaining the idea of trying a ref5-se for awhile. I see a few around the $6500 range, but they sure don't seem to sell very fast.
I have an opportunity to get one for $6000. The unit is very clean with low hours.
I kinda feel this is a fair price. Any thoughts?
