| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers @tvad Since you have had direct experiences with these two amps I would be very interested in more specifics of the SQ and character of the Atmosphere and AGD amps. .Did you auction the AGD Tempo or the mono blocks? @mapman From the many r... | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers Sorry you are correct. And I had the names wrong. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration Well I plan to compare it. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @timothy_m Thanks for the information and your experience with the AHB2. @yyzsantabarbara My AHB2 is Silver and 3 years old. I plan to try it with my new front end when they arrive. If I decide to sell I will let you know before listing it. ... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @yyzsantabarbara Interesting experience with the ABH2. Although I don’t understand how the mono ABH2 would fair worse than a single driving lower ohm speakers since the power is significantly higher with the mono configuration @azlon I agree... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration The difficulty for me concerning many desirable Amps is many are very large and very heavy. Not sure if can handle a 75-80 pound amp by myself. Getting it home and setting it up. The Brystons are reasonable in weight. And of course the Benchmark i... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @jeffreyw I was conflicted about spending that much on the front end but I sounded so great. I remember from my old analog days not paying enough for the front end. Once I committed to a Linn Turntable and Arm and Koetsu cartridge I was finally... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @audphile1 sorry Coda and Luxman | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @audphile1 I will check out Coda and Kidman. And thanks for suggesting the Harbeth forum. @jeffreyw Yes the Benchmark doesn’t match the quality of the new front end. That’s why I’m looking for an alternative. @12many My dealer carrie... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @lalitk I had dual REL T/5X subs but could not get them to integrate to my satisfaction with the Harbeths. The T Series RELs are really low end re enforcement rather than deep below 30 hz subs unless you move up to their bigger units. I liked th... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @hgeifman Thanks for all the information. Very much appreciated. Aurender has list of recommended SSD drives on their site. I got one of the Samsung units. I did speak to Vince about the word clock cable he said no specific recommendation. Sa... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @lalitk That BNC cable you referenced is $750. The BNC connection from the MSB to the Aurender is transmitting clocking. Not audio. So do I need an expensive cable? | |
| Aurender Model Choices @audphile1 Yes that’s the plan. Starting with good quality tested cables from Blue Jeans to be used as a baseline before investing in anything else. I did buy the Ethergen switch because when I spoke to MSB they recommended it. They also said do... | |
| Aurender Model Choices Thanks. One other thing I forgot to mention. They offered me discount on an expensive Cardas Ethernet cable. I declined. I want to start with the CAT 6 certified un shielded cable from Blue Jeans. Plus they were running plain RJ45 cable all ov... | |
| Aurender Model Choices Ok I had my audition and it was quite an adventure so this may be a little long! Test 1 I started my audition with the Aurender N200 connected to an Esoteric DAC (not sure which model) then through a Hegel Pre and Amp feeding the Harbeth 7es-XD... |
