EXPIRED For Sale Audio Research D240 MKII Power Amplifier

Further Information

This amplifier has some important stories to tell.

The Amplifier Story #1

“The D240 stereo power amplifier represents a new milestone in amplifier design: it combines the musicality and life-like imaging of vacuum-tube and hybrid amplifiers with the maintenance-free convenience of all-solid-state circuit technology. The D240's one-button operation couldn't be simpler - one push and you're ready to play. There's no question about it- the D240 will change the way you think about solid-state amplifiers. It is musical technology on a personal note, designed and engineered to fit the way you live with music. Not surprisingly, all this is brought to you by the company with over 20 years of proven leadership and lasting value in music reproduction: Audio Research.”

The Service

In 2022, I sent this unit back to my engineer in Philadelphia for a full service. He replaced the power supply module.

The Upgrades

This unit received the full EMI RFI reduction treatment from David at the Upgrade Company. This has created a noise free musical power amplifier. The power cable was upgraded with a Furutech Rhodium plug, detailed below.

The Inclusions

I have a 500W 240/120V Transformer. The amp comes with a high grade power cable (built in) with Furutech NCF High End performance IEC Rhodium connector (£399GBP / $766AUD). You can plug this set in to an Australian wall plug and rock on immediately.

The Sound

It is clear powerful and neutral. It powered my PMC MB2SE producing deep bass punchy mids and solid, clear highs. It is simply a perfect amplifier because of its neutrality. Feed it well and it will reward you with great music.

Why am I selling?

I’ve sold my PMC speakers and I don’t need this amplifier anymore.

I have Audio Research original packaging.
