Offered is my Audio Research Reference Phono preamp in natural (silver) and black handles.  I purchased it from the original owner.   ARC indicates that the unit was manufactured in 2001

The unit was returned from ARC on 09/24/14 after a full check-up and retuning.  The JPEG of the invoice shows all the work performed.    

Cosmetically it's a solid 8/10, bordering on 9/10.  Functionally absolutely no issues.  It was sent to ARC to diagnose a peculiar noise which turned out to be a worn set of signal tubes.
Being sold with the original manual and loading resistor pack, a brand-new never used resistor pack and a spare set of tube dampeners.    

Those familiar with ARC gear know how well the components are packed by the factory for shipping. Thus, I hesitate to open the boxes to take photos.  But I would hope that my stellar feedback would allay any concerns a potential buyer might have about the contents.  The last photo posted shows the Phono prior to its departure for ARC.    

The selling price of $2,795 includes PayPal fees and FedEx Ground shipping to anywhere in the Lower-48.  Continental shipping only - no exceptions.    

Selling because I've upgraded to the Reference Phono 2 SE (I have a black faceplate for a Phono 2 SE, if anyone is interested.).
