AUDIO RESEARCH

Audio Research, an analogue specialist with its phono preamplifiers, has also shown its digital expertise by offering a selection of network players and audio DAC.

Audio Research is one of the oldest Hi-Fi manufacturers still operating in the USA. The company was founded in Minneapolis in 1970 by William Z. Johnson. His prime concern has always been to obtain the most precise and neutral playback possible. With this target in mind, Audio Research has continuously designed unique systems that combine approved technology (including tubes) with more current technology (e.g. microprocessor, digital amplification). The company has grown significantly over the past 40 years and has won a host of awards from the world specialist press. Many of its line or phono preamplifiers and amplifiers are considered as a benchmark by a number of manufacturers and music lovers. Still to date, all the products coming out of the Plymouth production facility in Minnesota bear the words 'HIGH DEFINITION' on the front panel.
