Angeboten wird „VSi75 sillber“ von Audio Research als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6188585207 endet am 26.08.2026 um 16:18 Uhr.
€5,600 is ambitious but not unreasonable, sitting just above the 75th percentile (€5,354) of recent EUR comparable listings, though still below new-market prices like €12,990 or the original $8,000 ask.
The VSi75 remains a cult favorite for its muscular 75W/ch output, low-distortion Class A/B operation, and that signature Audio Research warmth that pairs beautifully with difficult speakers. At this price in good condition, you’re getting a rare, high-current integrated that still delivers the dynamic punch and tonal richness of vintage American power without the maintenance headaches of older tube designs. If it’s original-owner, includes the remote and manuals, and shows no signs of capacitor aging, this is a solid buy for someone who wants serious performance without stepping into full separates.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audio Research Corporation, founded in 1970 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by William Z. Johnson, traces its roots to his pioneering work in custom audio electronics during the 1950s and his operation of a specialty retail store through the mid-1960s. After a brief stint selling his designs to a larger firm, Johnson regained independence to establish ARC with a singular mission: advancing the state-of-the-art in music reproduction. From modest beginnings in the back of his shop, the company evolved into one of America's oldest continuously operating high-end audio manufacturers, now housed in a state-of-the-art 48,000-square-foot facility in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
ARC specializes in performance-driven electronics, renowned for vacuum-tube amplifiers, preamplifiers, and electronic crossovers that emphasize sonic purity over flashy features or aesthetics. Drawing on circuit designs rooted in the 1950s, the brand integrates tubes into modern contexts, delivering what it calls "high definition" sound through genuine technological advances. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, ARC's focused lineup prioritizes amplifiers and preamps that set benchmarks for musical realism.
Positioned at the pinnacle of high-end audio, Audio Research is hailed as a true originator of the genre, commanding respect among audiophiles for its unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. Enduring the 1970s tube revival against solid-state dominance, ARC thrives via elite specialist retailers worldwide, standing alongside peers like Conrad-Johnson as a vintage-inspired yet forward-thinking force in the niche boutique market.
