. . I felt I was hea-

This Audio Research is unques-
tionably the best yet...

It had the classic Audio Research
'High Definition sound, highly reveal~
ing and satisfyingly detailed. all this
seemingly achieved without effort. .

This is a reference-grade result.
and is strengthened by the very fine
balance of all the sonic aspects which
together determine a musically satis-
fying performance...

It set a new standard for amplifiers
combining the purity and grace of
the vacuum tube with the precision
and constancy of the solid state. The
VT 150 is a tour de force for William
2. Johnson . .

the emusez itself.

The VT 1503 presented an aston-
ishingly believable and natural ren~
dering of timbre. instead of hearing a
hi-fi representation of the music. I felt
I was hearing the music itself. . .

The VP 150 is. without question.
the best power amplifier I've heard
The VT 1505 went far beyond any
descriptions of sonic qualities. In-
stead. they were truly transcendental.
bringing me so much closer to my
favorite music than I thought could
be achieved by changing power
amplifiers...

The bottom line is that I've
enjoyed music more through the [.39.
and VT 150s than with any other
electronics Ive had in my system. in
fact. nothing else has ever come
close. The VP 1505 provided the kind
of experience that must be experi
enced firsthand to be believed "
