Product Highlights

Optional DAC & Phonostage are NOT included.

The Audio Research I/50 integrated amplifier provides 50 watts continuous per channel via a high-current design. It features 4- and 8-ohm taps, three single-ended inputs, one XLR input, a headphone jack, and LexieTube displays. Its modular design supports an optional 42dB phono stage and a DAC module with upsampling Bluetooth, USB, optical, and coaxial inputs. Hand-crafted in Minnesota, this all-tube unit utilizes two matched pairs of 6550WE power tubes and three 6922 tubes. Each amplifier is individually listening-tested by a factory designer to ensure reference quality, combining a compact footprint with robust power for all your analog and digital needs.

Critics from Stereophile and TONEAudio praise the I/50 for delivering legendary "tube magic" with exceptional musicality and agility. Reviewers highlight its surprisingly deep, controlled bass and dynamic expression that belie its compact size. The optional DAC and phono modules are widely commended for providing superb tonal purity, fine resolution, and an expansive, natural soundstage that reaches far beyond the loudspeakers.

Choosing this amplifier allows you to step off the component upgrade carousel. Its blend of high-current tube performance, user-friendly operation, and modular expandability makes it a long-term audio anchor. By breathing lifelike presence into your favorite recordings and driving challenging speakers with ease, it lets you focus entirely on the pure joy of music.

8 - Very good condition with minimal visible cosmetic wear including some very marks on the high-gloss tube deck. There are also some light nicks around the top and sides of the chassis and transformer case.
