Vintage Asylum Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time. |

Audio Research produced their first amplifiers in the early 70's and by the mid 70's were considered to be one of the original "High End" companies as we use the term today.
Looking back, their first products were introduced barely 10years after the industry changed to SS designs. Meaning that older AR amps are actually much closer in age to "classic" vintage amps than to more modern designs. If one were to aquire an AR amp from the mid 70s, it would be 40yrs old. It would be prudent to at least check if not replace all of the caps and check the reistors etc, just as one would for a vintage Fisher or Heathkit amp produced in the early 60's.
But- AR is considered to be "modern", while Fisher, Scott, Heathkit, Pilot etc are considered to be "vintage".
Did 10 years really make that much difference ?
Why ?
Thanks !
