Audio Research D-1008 (circa 1980)
Little is documented about the Audio Research D-1008. What the record shows comes down to a single classified advertisement in Audio (October 1980, p.144), offering an Audio Research D-1008 for $1,700, sold by a private seller. No review, owner's manual, or product announcement has surfaced, and the component type is unconfirmed — whether the D-1008 was a power amplifier, a preamplifier, or something else entirely is not recorded.
The $1,700 asking price puts it at the high end of the used Audio Research market of that moment. The same classified columns show a D-100B offered at $500 (Audio, May 1981, p.71) and a mint D-100 at $1,700 (Audio, March 1981, p.72). The name hints at a place in or near the D-100 family, but no source confirms that relationship. Until a manual, schematic, or a proper review turns up, the D-1008 remains an obscure entry in the Audio Research catalog.
