I have heard the I/50, and liked it, but not for a while. I have listened to the Vsi75 extensively… a phenomenal sounding amp. Warm and detailed. I am very much a Audio Research fan. All my equipment is ARC.

i have not specifically compared them. But I own a Prima Luna integrated and have listened to Rogue. The Audio Research captures the musicality of the very best warm and natural tube systems of the distant past while not losing the details of modern day tube stuff. In comparison, PrimaLuna is much more sterile and Rogue is just more sterile. The ARC is incredibly involving, with amazing midrange bloom.

 

For me, and I jettisoned the massively powerful detail / slam amps for a natural / musical system and I love the ARC integrated. I love all kinds of music… old jazz, rock, classical, world.
