| My amp is toast This aint gunna be cheap to fix, and needs someone who really knows his way around the ML333 and has access to the complete service manual, this BTW should be asked before you hand it over for repair.http://bilder.hifi-forum.de/max/27360/ml-333-02... | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? +1 celander no rational to his thinking. I absolutely love the cdt 8. By all means please send it my way instead of throwing it out when it starts to skip.Cheers George | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? Well, your basic assumption is that people will want them repaired. This is a declining truth. So are you saying this CDt3 is a throw away item when the laser starts to skip?NO WAY do would anyone I know throw them out, if they don’t get them rep... | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? Or, more likely cd transports and players will decline in numbers and the parts will simply sit on eBay. I replace laser or mechs in many cdp's, you have no idea just how many now are unobtainium to get new, for many $5K-$20k CDP's eg: flagshi... | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? Got a message from Jay’s Audio US Rep. wrong currency price quote. Philips CDM-4 laser price is $100 + $50 S/H from China. The CDM-4 is only $42 for the whole Mech and laser with free posthttps://www.ebay.com/itm/CDM4-19-Black-Optical-Pick-Up-L... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker clio09 You are correct, other than the recommendation by Roger, we haven’t really had any discussion on that. Vertical bi-amping is the way I roll these days and see no reason to go back, regardless of which pair of speakers I am using. I think u... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker In contrast, the JC1 (suggested by George) produces 0.15% THD at full output What fool, sorry no, idiot! would run these massive Halo JC1 powerhouses at full output. Here are the real figures into 4ohms."Distortion was also acceptably low (fig.6)... | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? Looking at the way it's orientated from pics I doubt you'll see the makers sticker, better chance from underneath, but the mech would have to be taken out to see that angle 15min job 4 screws and 2 x ribbon/power connectors.Cheers George | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? CDT2, MK2 can be obtained for $350 What about just the laser, as the mechs usually out last 3 x lasers No word from Jason of NuPrime Audio about what Brand/Model transport/laser assembly mechanism is in the CDT-8 Pro. If there’s no word, they do... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker My questions are answered. I am in the process of getting a second amp. Thanks. Total $6K.Pity for that you could of got a pair of John Curl designed Halo JC1 monoblocks that would eat these bridged AHB2's for breakfast. They "unbridged" output... | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? No proof that the Sanyo mechanism is in the CDT-8 Pro that’s why I said "Getting closer" that it may get them to deny it and maybe give the real one.But if you look closely at the tray and mech on here and the other thread I started, the part o... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker I’m kicking back listening to my bridged mono AHB2’s :) And there it is, protecting ones self interest regardless of the facts for others. Yes you need bridged ones with your speakers (attached). But the OP does not, and he’ll get better sound wi... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker tobes Really?Lets look at that. Show me where it states about and using the words "distortion being the same" in bridged mode into a 4ohm speaker, which means it’s seeing a 2ohm load? I doesn’t, and it’s a furphy! https://www.google.com.au/searc... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker My speakers can only dip to 3.8 Ohm minimum. That means the amp/s in bridged mode will see a load of 1.9ohms, not good for the bridged, but fine for a single stereo amp. Sure two AHB2s may be overkill for my speakers Yes as I told you before... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Thanks, great response gearbuilder Get real!!None of what gearbuilder's copy/pasted post spiel from another thread/member. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/benchmark-ahb2-amplifier-what-to-expect Has anything to do with the OP's 4ohm sp... |
