Audio Research VSi-60

This Audio Research integrated tube amp sounds absolutely phenomenal and is built to last a lifetime. It has been used sparingly in a secondary system in my home, and is in near perfect (9.5/10) condition. Comes with everything that was originally included from the manufacturer, including: remote control, power cord, instruction manual, all associated paperwork and the original box. I've upgraded the tubes to Tung Sol KT120's which gives the amp a more "bloomed" sound in my opinion. They are in excellent condition with easily under 200 hours of use. I will also include the original TS-6550 tubes that the amp came with. (Also very low usage hours)

Would prefer local pick up in West Hollywood CA, but I am happy to ship it out double boxed and fully insured domestically via Fed Ex.

Please feel free to ask any questions and/or for more photos. Thanks for looking and good luck!

An exceptional design by Audio Research, this is a 50 watt tube/hybrid integrated unit. "The VSi60 clearly proves that you do not have to spend a fortune to enjoy truly great sound at home. Built by hand in Plymouth, Minnesota, to the same exacting standards as our renowned Reference series, the VSi60 offers remarkable sound quality and value. Its rated output of 50 watts per channel does not convey the VSi60's ability to drive power-hungry, low-impedance loudspeakers. We designed the VSi60 with the finest full-range speakers, not compact monitors. Dynamics are lifelike with a sense of ease normally associated with larger amplifiers. Yes, its resolving power is surprising, allowing you to hear details that were previously hidden in your recordings, but that resolution is in service of the music — grainless, tonally accurate and refined. Physically, the VSi60 is 14" W x 8" H x 16" D, with a milled, anodized natural top plate with an inset Audio Research logo. On the front there are function and volume LEDs on the left, and soft touch buttons. The supplied remote controls all functions including power, muting, stereo/mono, input select, and volume up/down. The rear of the chassis has five pairs of single-ended inputs labeled CD, Tuner, Video, SE1 and SE2; a (full-range) mono subwoofer output; 0-4-8 ohm, gold plated brass five-way binding posts, and a very high quality detachable line cord. The microprocessor control remembers the last input selected and the stereo/mono setting when the unit is powered down. Upon turn-on there is an automatic 30-second warm-up mute, with the volume control reset to zero to avoid possible unwanted surprises.
