Audio Research LS-7 LS7 upgrades suggestions


Hello all,

I just acquired an Audio Research LS-7 and would like to make relatively simple upgrades to take it to another level. I have searched online but found very little information, so any and all suggestions are very appreciated.

Thanks,
Dustin

Thank you all for the great suggestions. So far, it appears that the two simplest upgrades I should do now are the diodes and fuse (???).

I don't want to spend more than about $300 - $500 for the upgrades. Because the LS7 is a "budget" component in the ARC product lines, I thought that perhaps I can replace some of the "budget" parts and improve the sound. But I don't want to go crazy and spend 10X more than what I paid for the LS7 (I bought the LS7 for $300). My skillset is limit to soldering only, so beyond that, I will probably won't attempt.

Newbee, the LS7 is still being shipped to me, so I don't know how it sounds yet.

Thanks for all the suggestions b/c I am sure other LS7 owners might want to do the same upgrades.
