Audio Research I/50

Monty,

 

Can you share your impressions so far?

 

Merry Christmas!

Darn, I thought I heard something about self-biasing in a factory tour last September. If there are meters-can't recall, that would at least tell you when they need adjusting right?

Does anyone have a idea about what sort of comparison there is between the Pass Labs INT25 and this new offering?

I toured the ARC facility in Minneapolis end Sept. Commissioner Gordon was the guide. Very top level person. Jaded me was impressed.
We saw a prototype of the I-50. No photos allowed. Comes with auto-bias, hour clock for tube use, choice of 5 colors for trim and optional
Phono stage and/or DAC. This may be for me! I will hear it Oct 27th!
It has more bling than you would expect from ARC. 

Well as we can see October came and went.

Last I heard it is a Jan/Feb delivery.

Still anxious to see what it sounds like.

I hope the base price doesn't change!!!

Monty,

Can you share the price paid? 

What state are you in?

 

Thanks!
