For the first 20yrs of its life, it was only used at weekends due to work commitments, and as you can see it is in marvellous condition, with hardly a mark anywhere.One reviewer said - Is this the last preamplifier youll ever buy? Just possibly. Because the LS3 is so advanced, you may never outgrow it. You certainly wont outgrow its lucid. musical performance. The LS3 features an all-new circuit design that combines a shortest-signal-path layout with a minimum of point-to-point wiring, D.C.-coupled inputs and a tightly regulated power supply.

The result is astounding resolution of musical detail. with wide-open dynamics. Only selling due to an upgrade to a Ref3. It comes in its original double box and the original Owners Manual.
