I had for a short time, an Audio Research Sp-10 (a"classic"??) and sold it as soon as I heard an Audio Research SP-15 in my system. ( I now use the SP-15)
If I was gonna buy a new used preamp... I would be looking at only the Audio Research Ref-3, or the ls26. The prior Ref2 mk2, and the LS25mk2 are not in the running.
Many other manufaturers have pres that are good or great, but the AR stuff floats my boat.
