Regardless, I can honestly state that in all my time as an audiophile and reviewer, no amplifier has seduced me quite like the Audio Research 330M. Its sound is about far more than a list of outstanding attributes. On every level, including some that transcend the physical, it delivered the greatest musical and spiritual satisfaction I’ve ever experienced from recorded music.There’s a beauty to the 330M’s sound that transformed sitting in the sweet spot into an act of joy. No emotion, no color, no pitch—no musical truth, including those that are heart-wrenchingly painful and filled with despair—seems beyond its reach. During the first of what I hope will be many more extended periods of listening with the 330M, I felt blessed to be able to immerse myself in musical bliss and to share that experience with friends.My deepest gratitude to everyone at Audio Research. You’ve done Bill Johnson’s legacy proud. The Audio Research 330M is a great amplifier, more than worthy of Stereophile‘s Amplifier of the Year award when award time next comes ’round in 2026
