| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' (with the addition of a 3/4 ohm series resistor in the primary) which means they will drive anything. You have successfully just made the damping factor that was already diminished because of bridging, even worse by installing even more series re... | |

| Going to try a tube integrated. rshad0000 OP I was really impressed with the laid back presentation and nice warmth in the mids. I’ve always been a solid state guy. Your spearkers impedance v -phase angle graph. Very hard to drive for any tube 60hz to 150hz.https://www.stereo... | |
| Looking for a Cd player/ transport. Just got the Cambridge Audio CXC transport, only early but very good so far.Scoped the spdif output and from what I’ve seen on the net from Lampizator’s waveform shots, it has a very good output wave form 1vpp @1.5mHz https://ibb.co/RzHbRDGCheers ... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' wwoodrum OP mrdecibel seigen What I will also add, if one amp has enough power to easily drive said speaker, you can gain extra dynamics and more bass grunt without losing quality by what I said before. To vertically passive bi-amp two st... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' wwoodrum Benchmark AHB2 - To ’mono’ or not to ’mono’ I’ve said it before in other threads here it is again "Nice amp, if you want to hear them at their best, don’t bridge "if there’s no need to", as all you’ll gain is watts, everything else take... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range bstatmeister OP What do you think about this one?http://www.audio-gd.com/Master/A1/A1EN.htm Audio GD is good value, but the Schiit is in the US, good for backup, and they give you a trial period so you can send it back if for some reason you... | |
| high pass filter options mrmk111 Mcintosh ma5200 To make a passive HP filter.Your Mac has a steady fixed input impedance of 20k, using this you could do a simple 1st order filter with just one component (a capacitor) on this by putting a 0.068uf cap in series with the ... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Like I said before, and all your answers have led to it, and not proved otherwise. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1723336 | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Here's something to ponder over. Subjective shootout, Schiit Vidar $700 v Benchmark AHB2 $3000Quick read looks like they prefer the sound of the Vidar more than the 4 x!!!!! more expensive AHB2https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threa... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I’m neutral on Schiit, they make some good and some bad. Which one is "bad" for the money, and what betters it for the same or less cost?Cheers George | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Of course it’s Schiit’s blame. Sighted listening tests hold little value, I think your just a little bit anti Schiit.Cheers George | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Measurement graphs to be more clear That’s not the fault of Schiit then as you made out! They have put up as much on the Vidar as any other product they make.It hasn’t been reviewed by Stereophile or HiFi News AVTech (Miller Audio Research) yet, ... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range mzkmxcv The fact that Schiit posts measurements for the $100 Modi 3 but not for the Vidar and others makes me weary, like they’ll only show performance if it’s good for the price. Really!!!!https://www.schiit.com/products/vidar press specs tab... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range bstatmeister OP The only one I can think of off the bat that might be good to try is the Schiit Vidar for $700. +1 on that. Cheers George |
