Audio Research I/50


Does anyone know anything tangible re: the ARC I/50 Integrated, apparently soon to be released?
There are some slick-looking pics on Instagram, and I’ve seen reference to an optional phono stage and DAC, but that’s about it. Will this be their first release post McIntosh Group spin out?

Would love to hear more from your hands on listening session with the i50. I heard one driving Maggie 1.7i briefly and thought it sounded great. 

I’m an AR I50 buyer and I want easy or auto bias and don’t want to mess around with tubes, changing or rolling tubes. The tube rollers and tube biasers may want to focus elsewhere.

But I really want the AR sound in something I can afford and a simple good looking integrated ......and the proof is in the listening - when I heard this amp driving Maggie 1.7i speakers the sound was clear, detailed, spacious and sounded terrific.
