Audio Research LS9 // Vintage / Solid State Line Stage Preamplifier - 2

$1,399

The Audio Research LS9 is one of those pieces of gear that might fly under the radar but deserves serious respect from any audiophile who’s looking for solid-state precision with a bit of that Audio Research magic sprinkled in. Known for its tube-based designs, Audio Research threw a curveball with the LS9, which is an all-solid-state line-stage preamplifier. But don’t be fooled—just because it doesn’t have glowing tubes doesn’t mean it’s not packing some serious sonic chops.


*Includes original box
