| Benchmark AHB2 Experiments I didn't spend much time using the amps in mono mode, so I haven't drawn conclusions about that configuration. Mono sounds a little different than Stereo, but that difference is smaller than when ‘Using’ two stereo amps in one-channel mode. My sp... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? The very best sound quality is from single-ended amps. But they typically have too low power output for most speakers. The next best sound is Benchmark AHB2. Here's my review: Benchmark AHB2 Power Amplifier – 10 Audio | |
| Quality of recording while evaluating speakers Generally speaking, the quality of a recording is not very important for comparative evaluations as long as there are good dynamics and extension in bass & treble. The key is to use the same recording for the comparisons. OTOH, I was compari... | |

| Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use To Cortes:My pair of Revel M126Be are breaking in now, currently with about 150 hours of music. You mention a 20 Watt amp, and I have a 12 Watt Valvet E2 which has enough power for about 90% of my listening. I am also breaking in the speakers with... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? Speakers are the most variable part of a system, not including the room and your preferences. But while the choices for speakers are abundant, the options for great (and affordable) power amplifiers are far less so. Prior to hearing (and reviewing... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Emerald Physics 4.7 or 4.8. It produces 90 dB SPL in my room on 1.5 Watts.Amplifier is Dennis Had's Inspire Fire Bottle SE, about 10 Watts per channel.Gentlemen and Ladies: This is a shockingly good system! | |
| Mytek Brooklyn need Audiophilleo? A 100VA external 12V power supply powers my Brooklyn. The difference with an external PS is shocking! The improvement is huge. You'll look back on the bare Brooklyn in disappointment.The Brooklyn with external PS is very satisfactory! | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Only two things are required:Resolution. Everything that comes in goes out again. Unchanged.Linearity. Resolution is the same for the entire audio frequency range. The better cables maintain these characteristics with a variety of components. | |
| Manley NeoClassic 250 Monoblocks Try 6CA7s in place of the EL34s. The amps are then more dynamic, more powerful and detailed in the bass, and cleaner and more extended in the upper frequencies, too. The same applies to Snappers. | |
| Kuzma Reference turntable I originally had a SME V, then Graham 2.2, and now a Graham Phantom arm on my Stabi Reference. Each arm was a big improvement over its predecessor. The Phantom is a great match for the SR, having huge dynamics, and great control from low-bass to h... | |
