| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' but since the AHB2 only accepts XLR Plenty like these around, if you look at all differing prices. https://www.ebay.com/itm/A15-1-5m-5ft-unbalanced-RCA-to-balanced-XLR-M-Canare-L-4E6S-Audio-Cable-/322492289636 https://onecall.com/audioquest-mac... | |

| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs smodtactical OP The Denafrips come out trumps on this a/b video by Darko.https://youtu.be/9tGmD6j8fC0 https://darko.audio/2018/09/a-short-film-about-the-denafrips-terminator-dac/ Cheers George | |
| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' georgehifi in order to make that work right you need a rather expensive digtal crossover to do it right. No sorry your wrong, forget digital xovers your still using the speakers internal xovers.Just vertical bi-amp as per the link, if you have... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' With two AHB2 (in mono configuration), the sound quality has changed considerably. Tracks which sounded thin earlier, were fuller with more ‘body’ and warmth. That to be expected with half the damping factor and double the output impedance, that ... | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 I did not ask what you thought, I can think for myself. You have fingers ask them yourself!I simply ask if I can buy the spare part you said was in stock. | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 I can’t see them replenishing their stock of the Ultra Analog D20400 dac chip modules, as Ultra Analog Inc. hasn’t existed now for over 20 years. https://datasheet4u.com/datasheet-pdf-file/524897/UltraAnalog/D20400/1 Cheers George | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 jab A replacement part is listed That would have been good to know, as I know someone who needs one.So I emailed Parts Connexion for price, they said."Unfortunately we do not have any."Cheres George | |
| Most “disappeared” speakers. The most "full range" dynamic speaker that do the disappearing act would have to be Audio Physics, and then also most ESL’s and Planers.Cheers George | |
| biamping Usher BE-20's My Audio Research 210's would drive the mids/tweets and maybe one of the class D amps for the bass. Great way to do it, Class-D's are good at bass, just make sure it has more gain than the AR, and an input level control on it so you can level ... | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 I thought Parts Connexion had parts to repair their dacs. Yes but they didn't make this part, which I believe is now extinct and the company long gone.. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/attachments/digital-line-level/680840d1526414993-ultraanalo... | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 I have a mk.1 and mk.2. Both busted. I’ve heard the chips are near unobtainium. Yep, if it's been confirmed those Ultra Analog d to a converters have bit the dust, then I'm afraid you have what used to be very nice expensive dacs, that have ... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound You have no idea, what constitutes current ability into low impedance loads with complementary Mosfets vs Bi-polars.https://dw8stlw9qt0iz.cloudfront.net/8helUHVPvP20LeKbM_SlMzQnfMw=/2000x2000/filters:format(jpeg):qua... | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 I read that both the 39 and Model 1 have a true balanced signal path Impossible for the 39, look at page 3 pin 11/14 it the only current output, and it’s single ended for one channel to the I/V opamp. Anything after that is going to be "pseudo xl... | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 But maybe too much so for me. I’ll have to listen some more. I think you may change after a few days/weeks of listening, I’ll say this though, the best recordings now will blow you away, but the bad ones may irritate more because they’re not bein... |
