Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. inna OP New Diablo 300 integrated to use as power amp..might be possible if I decided to finance this purchase. Knowing a bit about the way Flemming Rasmussen designs his circuit, a well cared for used Antillion would be the way I'd point... | |
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Perhaps 18A specification was for the early versions. R Yes of course they were, just like when Sterophile does a mediocre review, the manufacturers comments always say they must have sent a faulty one in for the review. Wouldn’t you think at the... | |
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Sorry your are correct it’s 6ohm as 4ohm they could not test, obviously current limited at 18amps and shut down, still not great 18amp shut down in bridged mode. And still 100w short of doubling into 6ohm anyway, still current sagging, should be a... | |
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker To put it more simply for the nay sayers. If this "bridged" amp is ask to give 380w when the speaker is at 8ohm and can only give 480w when it dips to 4ohms it is clearly current sagging.If that same amp "not bridged" can do 100w when the speaker ... | |
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Using the manufacturers own specs there's no refuting the current sag.Not bridged100w into 8ohms190w into 4ohms =Clearly very close to doubling it’s watts, good currentBridged:380w into 8ohm480w into 4ohms =Nowhere near doubling it’s watts, curren... | |
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker What would have been good to see is this simulated speakers load graph which is "non bridged" vs the bridged on the same simulated speaker load graph. Non bridged is good showing good current ability.https://www.stereophile.com/images/1115BAHB2fig... | |
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Sorry: Can't talk yourself out of that one sunshine.Cheers George | |
Which SR Blue or black Fuse Just keeping an even playing field here.Your "3 x the sound quality" statement says it all, there is really, nothing else to be said about you and the other fusers. And if the gullible believe you, then they deserve getting ripped off for $$$ for ... | |
Which SR Blue or black Fuse My Mytek Brooklyn DAC by far gave me the largest jump in SQ of the three items REALLY!!! https://youtu.be/RmyucZa6wD0?t=9 | |
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker increasing watts means increasing current. Benchmark clearly states in it’s specs:Not bridged100w into 8ohms190w into 4ohms =Clearly very close to doubling it’s watts, good currentBridged:380w into 8ohm480w into 4ohms =Nowhere near doubling it’s ... | |
Pass Labs X350.5 Vs. Mark Levinson ML No. 436? tomer_tsin Either will do, and with your speakers being 91db. You only need >100w into 8ohms to make them, work (more the merrier), and they're not too seriously hard to drive either, I would suggest the better sounding XA versions of the Pa... | |
This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! Love Schiit products, because they don’t con you with expensive "glitzy chassis" that cost up to 80% of the manufacturing costs of the whole product, and which doesn’t do anything ... | |
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. almarg None were microphonic initially, as determined by lightly tapping on them with a pencil eraser. Two of them eventually became severely microphonic, however. Yes Al there are so many that are and owners don’t even know they have them, they... | |
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming jond You misunderstood me Sorry yes I did, teach me to measure twice and cut once.Cheers George | |
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. That’s interesting information concerning the 6SN7 tube. My power amps use them (NOS 1948 Raytheons) as cathode followers and the 6CG7 as a pair as input tubes. Gain is probably lower there, but just try the finger nail gently flick test to see w... |
