Thank you @sandstone that's part of what prompted me to bump this. I did see one at my dealer later that day and it's a pretty physically large unit so a bit restrictive for the WAF needed.....but the i/50 could work. OTOH I had a blast with my current setup friday night so i'm back to liking my gear, LOL.
Audio Research I/50 integrated?
I’m looking for a simple, but classic integrated tube amp for sensitive speakers. I have seen this amp, watched the Darko videos, etc. but I’m having a hard time finding reviews or opinions online. It’s a lot of money to spend even though the brand is credible and renowned.
Obviously there are other contenders, PL, Ayon, Cary, Lab12, Icon, and Chinese brands like Line Magnetic, Willsenton etc. I keep going back to the AR, and maybe it’s because I’m in Minnesota.
Anyone own this amp? Have opinions, positives or criticisms?

@mtbiker29 - I wasn't down on the I50 but I liked the Stingray looks far better.... personal preference. I have had the Manley now since July 4th... love it, very happy with my decision.... |
