Audio Refinement Pre-5: This is a 6 channel analog linestage, purchased about 5 years ago. It is really an excellent 2 channel linestage, with the added benefit of a 6 channel input and output. Here are links to the
manual and
Stereophile review (scroll down). This preamp is very transparent. My home is child, pet and smoke free and I'm rating it as 8/10, due to age. My unit is black, photos are available on request.
Please note that this is an analog only linestage. It has no digital inputs of any type and no digital circuitry. All digital to analog conversion must be done in the source component(s) or a standalone DAC. This is a great linestage for any system where audio is the priority, but it is especially well suited for systems with a high end multi-channel source component , such as an SE, Modwright or Nuforce Oppo, where you want the player to do all the decoding.
Includes the remote and OBM. $450 + shipping & insurance from 94536. I prefer Paypal and the fee is included in the price. Local pick-up is also available.
