| Handling Heavy Amps Now that I am satisfied that my MSB Discrete DAC sounds better direct to my amp than through the Benchmark HPA4 I've listed the preamp on Audiogon. | |
| Aurender Conductor App Experience Thanks for confirming it's just my imagination.That's what I thought. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps What does the second AHB2 actually do. Benchmark keeps telling me I would hear no difference unless I was clipping with one | |
| Accuphase Experiences I will be auditioning the Bryston 4b3 Monday and the Accuphase P-4600 on Wednesday. I did find out the you can run the e4000 or e5000 Integrated amps as an amp bypassing the entire pre amp section by using the XLR power amp inputs. I will repo... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps I’ve narrowed my choices down to three options Keep the ABH2 and possibly add a second to go bridge mode. Bryston 4b3 - Will be auditioning on Monday Accuphase P-4600 - Will be auditing on Wednesday If not much difference compared to what I... | |
| Accuphase Experiences With good flat response headphones and a good DAC you can get a very good sense of a component’s sound characteristics on YouTube. You have to listen at a slightly elevated volume. Some demos sound terrible but there are a lot of excellent exampl... | |
| Accuphase Experiences Can Accuphase integrated amps be operated as an amp. For example can you by other pre amp and use the volume control on the DAC. I noticed a power amp XLR input on the e4000. | |
| Aurender Model Choices Ok where is System page? | |
| Aurender Model Choices Finally got my Aurender N20 and MSB Discrete DAC. The MSB took 3 weeks to arrive. I’m running the MSB direct into my AHB2. Tried the HPA4 and direct method was significantly better. So far sounds really good will post more after I give it a break ... | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? My current speaker cables are 6’. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do. Benchmark insists that unless I’m clipping the amp there is no reason to get a second and that I will not hear any difference other than the ability to play louder. ... | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? Recent info from Benchmark Support No worries with the AHB2. In mono, it will drive down to 1Ohm. Into 6Ohms, the bridged AHB2 will output 480 watts.The input impedance whether stereo or mono is 50kOhms The amp will draw up to 8 amps. Also ... | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Thanks guys for the information about WPC and Current. Not sure I completely understand it but from what you’ve describing the 5.5 would easily drive and control the Harbeth C7. Also since it’s 6 ohm the WPC would be somewhere between 50 and 100. ... | |
| Not enough outlets I ordered the Cullen 6 receptacle unit a few weeks ago. That should do it. I would not plug an amplifier into any power conditioner. I have Furman and had my amp plug into it. Once I plugged the amp directly into the wall there was a noticeable i... | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? @audphile1 Overture have my speakers and DAC and streamer. So any audition will be valid. Plus I plan on bringing my ABH2 with me to include in the comparison. If zI went for the Pass it would be the X-250.8. Good to know I wouldn’t have to be c... |
