The Classic 60 Hybrid Stereo Power Amplifier resembles the long-popular D115 in Audio Researchs family of High Definition® power amplifiers. But its lineage is strictly Classic 150. Which means nothing less than state-of-the-art in design, construction, musicality, and operational convenience...at an affordable price. Like the Classic 150, the Classic 60 proceeds from the notion that power ratings dont always describe a power amplifiers real capabilities. Far more important are such qualities as dynamic stability. lucidity, subtlety. And to achieve those, Audio Research has used its traditional partial cathode coupling along with triode operation of the Classic 60s eight 6550 power output tubes. Additional circuit improvements, as well as the usual rigorous parts selection and manufacturing Audio Research, are noted for, also contributing sonically. Translated into the language of listening, this signifies stunning bandwidth, a noise floor virtually beneath audibility, and musically fulfilling SPLs at dramatically lower gain settings. Dynamics, timbres of individual instruments, soundstage, and musical emotion all surge out from a black velvet of silence. Simply put the Classic 60 resolves far more of a musical program than amplifiers rated at two, three, or four times its seemingly modest 60 WPC. But the Classic 60 is easily up to the task of driving all but the most demanding loudspeakers, even in spacious listening rooms. And while it shows modest preamplifiers in their best light, it also shines when coupled with premiere designs, such as Audio Researchs SP14 or SP15. Convenience figures are high on the Classic 60s list of attributes, as well. For example, the DC balance of the output tubes is maintained automatically, while tube biasing continuously adjusts to changes in incoming line voltage. Performance stays razor-sharp without bothersome tweaking or adjustments. And quiet fan cooling, along with triode operation, means significantly longer tube life.

For sale is my Audio Research SP20 tube preamplifier (note: I also have this amp listed on Audiogon where I typically can offer a better price). Originally sold brand new for $9000. Im selling to downgrade to a more compact (less separates) setup. I purchased this particular unit from The Music Room (tmraudio.com) in early 2022 (Feb 12th to be exact). I have used it in my primary 2 channel setup ever since. This preamp operates flawlessly and Ive never had a single issue with it since day 1. I installed brand new tubes purchased from The Tube Depot back in November 2023, but these newly installed tubes currently have ~ 179 hrs of use (see pics). Comes with original remote and manual. Ill ship in the same box I received it in (see pics) using original packing materials. Weight is around 30 pounds. Shipping will be a flat $70 via either UPS or FedEx. BTW, there is a really good review of this preamp on Stereophile which provides far more details than I could list here. Simply google Stereophile Audio Research SP20 review, but the writer mentions in his summary: With the neutral, detailed, dynamic, and flexible SP20, Audio Research has hit one out of the park. The company has provided in the SP20 a level of performance of both phono and line stage that would cost almost twice as much to match with ARC separates, when the cost of interconnects is included. ARC has included in the SP20 features derived from their flagship Reference 10 line stage, as well as a first-rate headphone amplifier. I never thought Id call a $9000 preamp a bargain, but the SP20 is just that. That original Stereophile review is what originally sold me on purchasing this particular preamp.

The Classic 60 Hybrid Stereo Power Amplifier resembles the long-popular D115 in Audio Researchs family of High Definition® power amplifiers. But its lineage is strictly Classic 150. Which means nothing less than state-of-the-art in design, construction, musicality, and operational convenience...at an affordable price. Like the Classic 150, the Classic 60 proceeds from the notion that power ratings dont always describe a power amplifiers real capabilities. Far more important are such qualities as dynamic stability. lucidity, subtlety. And to achieve those, Audio Research has used its traditional partial cathode coupling along with triode operation of the Classic 60s eight 6550 power output tubes. Additional circuit improvements, as well as the usual rigorous parts selection and manufacturing Audio Research, are noted for, also contributing sonically. Translated into the language of listening, this signifies stunning bandwidth, a noise floor virtually beneath audibility, and musically fulfilling SPLs at dramatically lower gain settings. Dynamics, timbres of individual instruments, soundstage, and musical emotion all surge out from a black velvet of silence. Simply put the Classic 60 resolves far more of a musical program than amplifiers rated at two, three, or four times its seemingly modest 60 WPC. But the Classic 60 is easily up to the task of driving all but the most demanding loudspeakers, even in spacious listening rooms. And while it shows modest preamplifiers in their best light, it also shines when coupled with premiere designs, such as Audio Researchs SP14 or SP15. Convenience figures are high on the Classic 60s list of attributes, as well. For example, the DC balance of the output tubes is maintained automatically, while tube biasing continuously adjusts to changes in incoming line voltage. Performance stays razor-sharp without bothersome tweaking or adjustments. And quiet fan cooling, along with triode operation, means significantly longer tube life. A Classic 60 owner can look forward to years of low-maintenance performance POWER OUTPUT60 watts minimum continuous at 16 ohms from 15Hz to 20kHz with less than 1.0% total harmonic distortion. Typically below .005% at 1 watt. The approximate actual power available at clipping: 62 watts.
