Audio Research Reference 3 preamplifier    (Sold - Singapore)

Perfect condition, mint, complete with all packaging.  230 to 240 volts.

 

"'Breakthrough' is an overused term, but it is the most fitting word to describe the REF3. As you can probably imagine, it is difficult to write about a new product like this without sounding clichéd, but the REF3 is so good that it is startling when you hear it in your system. How is its presentation superior to the great products that have preceded it? Simply, in every way. The REF3 is more musically transparent. It presents an immense soundstage that makes everything else sound one-dimensional. Voices and instruments have real body and weight, with pinpoint focus. The deep, powerful bass is fast, articulate, and controlled. It possesses a dynamic swing that is breathtaking. And, most importantly, there is a directness and immediacy that connects the listener with the performance. The results are simply thrilling. "

Description:
This preamplifier is "THE" complement to the deHavilland 845 single ended triode amplifier and it does it beautifully. Of course, they can complement other power amplifiers as well.

The UltraVerve line stage is a true zero negative feedback Class A design and was designed to protect and enhance the qualities of the 845 tube amplifier. In the case of deHavilland, more than anywhere else, it will be key to have both the amp and preamp of the same brand, if you hear them together, you will immediately understand.

This preamplifier produces a huge, full-bodied soundstage and an angelically sweet and dynamic midrange. This preamp is just a joy to listen through.

This offer includes a TungSol NOS tube along with the original 6SN 7 tube.
