Audio Research Corporation I/50 Integrated Tube Amplifier First Look TSAV

Headphones and other Audio Gear in the Video or that we enjoy: Hey guys, it is Marcello from TSAV! This will be a quick off-the-cuff video because we couldn’t wait to share some information about Audio Research Corporation’s I/50 integrated Tube Amplifier. A few weeks ago, Jason, the man the myth the legend and founder of TSAV, told me about an incredible integrated amp they got in. He was awestruck at how amazing it sounded, with even inexpensive speakers and sounding equally stunning with headphones. I had honestly never heard Jason glow like this about any product before, so I was immediately intrigued and wanted to get one into the house to see what his excitement was all about. Well, I have had the I/50 in the house for about 48 hours now, and I can confirm Jason was spot on! This amplifier is going after the crown of best, an all-in-one integrated tube amplifier at this price tier and even besting boutique tube amplifiers I have heard above its asking price. With 50 watts per channel and a very high current design, the I/50 lights up my reference KEF LS50 Metas and Klipsch Heresy IV’s throwing the largest, tallest, deepest sound stage I have heard in my room yet! The midrange has some serious magic bringing vocals and strings to life in a way I have never heard before in my room. The top end is well extended with incredible air. Imaging definition is class-leading and punches above its asking price and more expensive amplifiers I have heard. The bass is tight...
