For Sale: Audio Refinement Complete a Integrated in very good condition.  This is the a model which has the Preout option.  Loads of great reviews online (links to a few below) and powered my Tekton Lore S's admirably but now it's time to move in a new direction.  Two items to mention, unit has a very small ding in the face plate as shown in the picture with a needle next to it for size comparison and the remote has a couple superficial dents but functions as designed.

Price is $425 plus shipping from 83616.  Includes factory box, manual and remote.

The α (Alpha) version, a later model upgrade to the Complete line also featured

  -  upgraded PCB board (higher conductivity copper and stronger dielectric)

  -  upgraded power supply (higher quality silicon steel & higher purity copper in transformer)

  -  tweaking / tuning to decrease structural resonance

Thank you srb for that information. I couldn't remember, or find online in recent searches, the improvements that the a version brought over the standard model.

And I agree Peter_S, this Amp exceeded my expectations considerably and is a pleasure to listen to.  Only selling to try separates....ah this is a fun hobby!

I owned the original version years ago. Sold it to "upgrade" to a more powerful amp. One of the many mistakes I've made in this hobby.

Good luck with the sale.

Had I not just bought a Monarchy Pro SM-70, I would be all over this.

I was actively looking for one of these for the past year.

Good luck with the sale, it is a great piece.
