Audio Research VT-50
Not much is documented about the Audio Research VT-50 power amplifier. What the record shows comes from two 1998 reviews in Audio magazine. They describe it as one of the least expensive models in the latest-generation VT series of vacuum-tube amplifiers. Audio (August 1998, p.62) noted that the VT50 was rated at 45 watts per channel and was aimed at owners of moderate or highly sensitive speakers. A March 1998 article (p.76) mentioned that the VT-50 and VT-100 used a similar topology to the more powerful VT-200, but with a less elaborate transformer design. No production years, original price, or detailed specifications have been found.
