The new Audio Research range has arrived! And I'm drooling over this. To be honest, I didn't think I would like the solid state offering from Audio Research. I've fallen in love with the Tube electronics and I thought a solid state preamplifier would seem...lacking. But boy was I happily surprised!! Pairing this with the S-100 power amplifier has had me grinning from ear to ear. Not only do you hear new things in the music, you FEEL new things in the music.

Not only does this sound amazing, it looks the part too. The metal casing paired with the tactile feel on the knobs gives luxury HiFi.

This preamplifier is all the class and more of what you'd expect from Audio Research.

Product description
Shipping & Returns

At its core, the LS-3 utilises a differential JFET-based input stae, which enhances signal integrity and reduces noise, followed by a bipolar transistor-based voltage amplifier that ensures robust performance. The Class-A output stage delivers a warm and dnamic sound, making it a perfect choice for discerning audiophiles.

The signal path in the LS-3 is meticulously designed with dual mono architecture, featuring separate power transformers for each channel. This configuration not only enhances channel separation but also contributes to a cleaner, more immersive listening experience. Additionally, the inclusion of a zero gain cascaded voltage reference and linear power supplies ensures optimal stability and performance.

With the LS-3, Audio Research continues to push the boundaries of high-fidelity audio, delivering a preamplifier that combines cutting-edge technology with the passion for sound quality that has defined our legacy. This remarkable piece of equipment is set to elevate your audio experience to new heights.
