| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? @kennyc just trying to get a gauge from people on this site if the AHB2 was a flash in the pan or something worth keeping for quite a while. audiophile is jut a term. there are no shortage of used ones for sale. | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? Thanks to all replies, very interesting. It does seem that this amplifier has staying power. I heard it again at AXPONA this year driving some Aretai stand mount speakers. Very punchy and clear. I am probably going to try one. While I love... | |

| Tube Rolling for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 2 preamp spot on the cm sounds best with anything amperex or made by amperex. mske sure it has been screened for low noise. transparent, dynamic, clean, refined and colorful. i had the CM ii for several years and literally tried them all. | |

| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing This thread reminds me of the Voyager GaN FET amp thread. Lots of buzz. Someone I trust tried one and promptly dumped it. | |

| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Lux for sure. I have yet to hear a Hegel amp that I really like the sound of and I have heard most of them. | |
| Cartridge recommendations The Audio Technica ART9XI "ART 9" competes and beats many $2K cartridges and nothing under 1800 touches it. An internet legend that is justified. | |
| Need an amp: rogue audio cronus magnum iii or Parasound JC 2 ? The JC2 is a preamp. The Rogue CM II is an outstanding sounding amplifier- owned one for several years and loved it. | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? No. The idea of diminishing returns of quality for investment happens much sooner than $40,000. Howiver a $40k amp does have the potential to sound bigger and more dynamic in a much larger space than a much less expensive amplifier especially if ... | |
