| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? roddek6 J’ai mis une planche de bois sur le Light speed pour changer le look, que veut dire l’étiquette avec la lettre B.https://www.dropbox.com/s/gzsy1kefxr9pooy/IMG_20181122_122015%20%281%29.jpg?dl=0 Ah yes the letter "b" underneath is a batch... | |

| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Hey, do you have a link to the complete review? I got 29 hits for Leben. A lot of mention for a poorly performing amplifier. https://www.stereophile.com/content/leben-cs300-integrated-amplifier-measurementsJA does make mention of the ultrasonic... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. ramtubes Hey George, did you see the review of the Cary SLI-100 in the lastest issue? I think that one comes later for free on line, as I'm such a tight arse, I only read the ones Stereophile drip feeds online for free. But it must be bad t... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. ramtubes OP One thing to do is follow John Atkinson’s measurements of amplifiers. If you dont, get Stereophile its a good mag and only $12-15 a year. This is great advise for those here, to learn and understand these Stereophile measurements, it... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi roddek6 From what I’ve been able to understand with the translator, you bought this used and are very happy with your sound. What you purchased is not one of my production Lightspeed Attenuators, but looks to be diy unit that has been made that... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker No answer to the above claim. All I can say to that is "if correct", that Benchmark should never have released this amp in stereo form, they should be all bridged, as the Stereo version is in some way hobbled and should not be purchased. And there... | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? Jim Strickland’s Acoustat speakers, when in good condition, they were without peer and almost indestructible, because the stators front and back were Teflon coated ofc wire, you just couldn’t arc them, and they went loud, very beamy though for the... | |
| Bypass capacitor position? cal3713 Everything is mirrored, but you’ll notice that the yellow REL-caps are in the same position Doesn’t matter, in both pics it seems that it goes from ground to the B+Cheers George | |
| Rogue RP5 with Bel Canto Mono Block karurravi I’ve heard most of the Belcanto Class-D’s, only one that made me think of going to the "dark side" was the 600M monoblocks, BUT!!! only when they drive a nice benign 4-8ohms impedance through the mids and highs with no nasty -phase angl... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Proper digital cable should be 75ohm many are not, sometimes 50 or 100ohms. Also rca’s connectors are not proper 75ohm So Blue jeans Cables and many others sayhttp://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/75ohmrca.htm BNC are proper 75ohm, but there are ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker It bothers me there is no sub control. Makes me think you have to buy their pre. I think the plate amp get a high level signal from the speaker terminals, and the xlr connection (room correction) may have something to do with this I found on line... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Suggest me few amps better than AHB2 at this price and I will consider them, I am only looking for a great amp that do justice to my speakers. I don’t have any past baggage or any biases. I did, a pair of used John Curl Parasond Halo JC1’s in hig... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker geek101 OP227 posts11-16-2018 2:07pm@georgehifi With Legacy Aeris what you are suggesting is not possible. Of course it is, the plate amp still drives the lower bass as is, the passive xover is split (easy job) so the original terminals do just th... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker geek101 With someone who knows, looking at the access via the back plate amp, it wouldn’t be hard to split the passive xover and add a second pair of speaker terminals for the bass driver.Then you can purchase the 2nd AHB2 and can vertical by-am... |
