| CD Transport that has I2S hdmi output, cheaper the better. Getting closer to maybe finding the NuPrime's laser, this Shanling uses the SAA7824HL that goes with it laser the Sanyo HD850 https://www.ebay.com.au/i/122687604397?chn=pshttp://www.shanling.com/Product/Detail?id=5cc95aa4df554b39afcace68e1592a6aCh... | |

| Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ?? dsperHi, my answer to your question is first, but the last paragraph is the way to go.With your 10kohm input impedance on the DNA500 it need 2.2v for full output, very hard to get a tube or passive to work with this. But a 10kohm passive because i... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker No matter what sort of spin you want to put on it tobes the fact is that this thread is about the OP and his speakers, and bridged AHB2's are not the way to go into his speakers 4ohm load."Bridging good for more watts, but everything else takes ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker If we put aside the term "damping" , because thats not what really matters, we need to inform people that an amplifier with high output impedance may cause a marked change in the frequency reponse of their speaker. Thats what really matters. Ye... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker I imagine in the 4 ohm bridged mode the current limiting would become apparent. JA is often kind by omission. I think the amp would shut down with a 4 ohm bridged load. Thats like 2 ohms per channel as you well know. Yes and before it shut down, ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Implying higher distortion in bridged mode for the AHB2 is incorrect. It’s all in the measurements and how they’re presented, just look.Distortion graphsHere is the graph NOT BRIDGED 8ohmshttps://www.stereophile.com/images/1115BAHB2fig04.jpgHere ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker You believe what you want, and I'll believe what I know for the OP's speakers, and that's what this thread is all about.In general Bridged AmpsPros= More watts.Cons= Worse damping factorHigher output impedance (has relevance to damping factor)Lowe... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker In my case the bridged AHB2 amps do sound better than a single AHB2, but my ATC speakers are very different from the OP. Yes because your speakers need the extra watts, the OP’s don’t, and that’s what the discussion is all about. I would lay mone... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker djones51 George I don’t really see why 1 amp in stereo wouldn’t be enough with the OP’s efficient speakers Been there, done that. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1647982and herehttps://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1647933 But he seems to want 2 am... | |
| How good is the McIntosh MC-2300 vs modern SS amplifiers? Diablo reviewshttps://gryphon-audio.dk/shop/integrated-amplifiers/gryphon-diablo-300-integrated-amplifier/ That’s the baby integrated, my friend has the Antillion into the Wilson Alexia II’s I’s before that.https://gryphon-audio.dk/shop/power-a... | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? If the laser is the same it's the Philips SAA7824HL laser That is not a laser, it's a laser controller chip.Cheers George | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker georgehifi, my question was in the form of yes/no. Are you speculating, or do you have actual experience with the amp in different configurations?I repeat, If you have a technical background and understand what happens when you bridge an am... | |
| Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ?? many sources don't really provide an adequate means of controlling the artifacts of the interconnect cable and often have substandard means of controlling volume (the Oppo is a good example of the latter). The correction to the above is. That ... | |
| My amp is toast stevea11757 Just get the ML333 repaired whatever the cost, the only manufacturers that make them like this that can almost double the wattage for each halving of impedance loading down to 2ohms, are amps the likes of Gryphon, D'Aogostino, ect... |
