-œThis 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 . .

-œThe 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 I-˜ve 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 "
