I'm also really happy to see this product. I've had a Audio Research vsi60 for years and have been looking to upgrade (with another Audio Research amp) for a bit. The vsi75 isn't available in black and neither is the Gsi75 and the reference series is expensive.
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 haven’t seen anything recently on this amp, but per this link, it does have auto-bias. https://www.lbtechreviews.com/news/hi-fi/smart-valve-amp-with-additional-optionsed-utbyggingsmulighe... |
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. |
