Angie's Comments:

Audio Research HD 220 HYBRID Drive tube power amplifier. 220 watts per channel Recent advances in solid-state output devices and other components have opened up design possibilities as never before, allowing Audio Research engineers to combine the strengths of two different technologies in a completely new power amplifier: the new Hybrid Drive HD220 stereo power amplifier. Only 4 tubes used 2 x 6922+ 2x 6H30. Audio Research LS 17 tube pre amplifier with remote control-line stage. Using two 6H30 twin triodes in the audio stage, the LS17 has a larger power transformer, redesigned power supply and new parts including proprietary output coupling caps. This gives the LS17 the stunning purity of sound first heard in the REF3 and in the and in the more recent LS26. The family resemblance is undeniable, and convincing. Audio Research CD 5 Newest top loader CD player-Great Sound The CD5 was designed for one purpose, to play back compact discs with a stunning level of resolution, dynamics and musical naturalness.
