Audio Research

Since 1970, Audio Research Corporation has shaped the soul of high-end audio. Founded by Bill Johnson to advance the art of music reproduction, ARC continues to lead the world in vacuum tube performance and design. Every piece is hand-built in Minnesota, backed by in-house service that still supports components from five decades ago. In celebration of its 55th anniversary, ARC is introducing six new models in 2025, each carrying forward the company’s commitment to transparency, longevity, and unmistakable sonic realism. These are not museum pieces; they are heirlooms built for daily listening.
