I have owned one or more Audio Research components for over forty years. Never needing any adjustments or repair. Over time as I better understood what music really sounds like and more able to afford top notch equipment moved to all Audio Research. You can see my system under my user ID. Audio Research produces some of the best, most reliable, audiophile equipment in the business and has been a trusted name for fifty years.
Need to learn about Audio Research
Still exploring amps and preamps to go with my Magnepan 3.7i.
I've always heard about Audio Research being a great match, but I'm not familiar with the brand at all.
I'll need to shop the used market since the new gear is way out of my price range.
I am looking for a high power (100wpc +) amp and a preamp that has remote control. I'd like the preamp to be tube, and the amp could be either solid state or tube.
I don't know at what point in the model lineup remote control was added, but it appears most of the older gear did not have a remote.
Any AR experts here?
