The I/50 integrated amplifier is the first product in an all-new series from Audio Research. Handcrafted in Minnesota, the functionally simple, visually engaging I/50 is built with the same attention to detail as all other Audio Research products—each one even gets its own listening test with sonic designer Warren Gehl. Available in six colors, the I/50 features Cerakote finishes for a beautiful and long-lasting look. The modular design allows for the installation of two audio modules—a phonostage and a D/A converter (to come in 2022). The high-current 50Wpc amplifier is capable of driving a wide variety of speakers. A headphone jack allows for personal listening time. Two LexieTubes provide display information for input selection and volume. Two matched pairs of 6550WE vacuum tubes, along with three 6922 tubes, stand in front of the perforated transformer cover. Three single-ended inputs and one XLR input provide connectivity for most systems. Includes a full-function metal remote control. An optional tube cage will be available.
Price: $5000.
