DESCRIPTION

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, custom Audio Research designed power transformer (made in the U.S.), and multiple stages of regulation.
