It’s just that when something like this comes along, I want to enjoy it as much as I can before the manufacturer or importer retrieves it.”

Audio Research I50 HFN Review Oct 22

————————————————-

Generating as much excitement as a new In-N-Out Burger restaurant, ARC’s I-50 integrated amplifier has taken about two years for supply to start to catch up with demand, and a review sample is finally available. In Midwestern fashion, let’s cut the pleasantries – this is a fantastic product in every way. It’s solidly built, functionally efficient, sonically excellent, and fashion forward. ARC returns to a tube compliment of 6922s and 6550s for an amplifier that sounds slightly less resolving than some of the current REF product, but arguably more musical. And a lot easier on the pocket book, considering what 6H30s and KT150s cost these days. Think the GS series in a compact chassis.
