Audio research D240 MkII Amp

Stratguy: I have had several of the D-240 MKII's....First of all don't buy a none MK II.....The one's I have had were very nice sounding amp's, maybe even a little "tube" sounding...They have good power.....And you should be able to buy one from 700.00 to 900.00 ....That is all I know

Thanks Autospec. So, what you are saying is...if I buy a D240, only buy a mkII, is that correct?

Thanks

I have used two D-240's for more than ten years. They are
tremendous amps, wonderfully musical and reliable. The first was a MKI which at that time could be upgraded to a
MKII by ARC at no charge. I prefer the sound after the upgrade although I didn't have it long as a MKI. I had a look inside before I sent it away and on it's return. The
changes made were substantial. I've never had a reliability issue with either one. I listen to them every day with Proac 2.5's and Tablette 50 sigs.
