Tube phono preamp from Audio Research which provides 47dB of gain, good for all MM cartridges and High Output MC cartridges. Tough to beat at this price range, especially for a tube unit. The LP1 is a departure for us in both size and series designation. The chassis is a compact 13 inches wide, by 8.6 inches deep, by 4.5 inches high. The front panel has the inset Audio Research logo with an engraved line completing the panel, but no handles. There are simply two switches for Power/Off and Mute/Operate. The entire chassis is silver, and the front panel is only available in Natural. The LP1 has 47dB of gain, perfect for higher output (>1.0mV) MM and MC cartridges. It is a hybrid design utilizing one 6H30 tube, special low-noise JFETs, a custom Audio Research-designed power transformer (made in the U.S.), and multiple stages of regulation. There is no overall feedback, and it is non-inverting. Inputs and outputs are single-ended. The LP1 simply sounds wonderful, with great transparency and a lovely tonal balance. Typically Audio Research, the LP1 has dynamic life, conveying a wealth of information and sorting out even the most complex musical passages. Airy on top, resolute on the bottom, the LP1 is fun to listen to and stands apart from the competition. Put it in any system at hand and have a great time with your favorite vinyl.
