Audio Research Reference 330M Mono Power Amplifier

A hand built masterpiece

The Reference 330M is the finest amplifier ever created by Audio Research, with the ability to control any loudspeaker with a vice-like grip and startling dynamic life. It is the culmination of everything we have learned over 50+ years.

It is a statement that music is king, always ready to sweep you away. Infusing new technology and circuits with the finest vacuum-tube architecture, the 330M elevates music reproduction to the highest plateau with an all-tube signal path.

From its ECC83 input to its KT170 output, with tube regulation in the power supply, the 330M proves that you can enjoy the ease of high power along with a delicacy and purity usually associated with low-power amplifiers. Tonal saturation and density accompany a specificity of recording space beyond anything we have built.

Liquidity and artistry abound, yet with blade-like edge precision when called for. Extension at both frequency extremes is state of the art even for solid state amplification. Statement-level loudspeakers capable of meaningful infrasonic bass output will be fully commanded down through their lowest octave without a hint of retreat. Stones unturned: None.

This is our heritage, the legacy created by our founder, William Zane Johnson.
