Audio Research i/50


Hey folks!

 

Thinking to get one of these beauties for my main system paired with either a Zu DW or a Klipsch Forte/Cornwall. With the phono and DAC modules for my Lumin streamer and VPI tt.

Any experience?

Thanks in advance!

"I've had a good deal of MacIntosh gear"

Still having a hard time spelling it though?

what speakers should be good for i/50, Zu Omen or Forte/Cornwall IV? And How Would U describe ARC sound?

btw, my amps are INT-25 and Dueundici.

Can say many of the same things for ARC. Good quality stuff, looks great, resale is good (although not as good as Mac gear).

I have just started looking into the purchase of ARC gear and thought this also regarding good resale values.  I don’t know whether or not ARC dealers sell new products with a discount off MSRP or maybe it’s the economy.  I mention this because I was surprised to see it appeared that much of the relatively new but not current model used ARC gear was listed at around 40%-45% off MSRP.  And ARC does come out with new models rather often, but fortunately appears to offer updates of previous models, but I guess this isn’t all that helpful resale wise.

just pull the trigger and bought one with onboard DAC&Phono stages.

Wondering if I sell my Lumin D2 with Sbooster and use just a Bluesound Node or a other pire streamer will make much difference and I can put the money in a good cans or MM Maestro V2.
