New Products - from the best

"I owned my first Audio Research preamp and amplifier way back in 1973, an SP3A-1 tube preamp and a D-51 50 watt tube power amp. This is right where I fell in love with high end audio! They were THE state-of-the-art tube components way back then, just as they are today, in 2010!

Thirty seven years after my first purchase of their components, Audio Research Corporation has come full circle and is at their absolute peak in sales and performance. William Z. Johnson's designs have been a continual evolution in design philosophy over the last forty plus years as he has been working on improving the superior, high definition audio components his company manufactures. And after all these years I have now come full circle! Audio Alternative is proud to announce that we have been chosen to represent the Audio Research line of products in Northern Colorado. We carry both tube and solid state gear from this venerable company. A must audition in this store, if ever there were one!"
