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?

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!!!

Same here! I am interested in moving into a tube integrated and really curious as to the sound. Also like that adding the DAC is optional. Pretty great video by Darko that I watched yesterday.- American Made: Audio Research I/50
