| Handling Heavy Amps Just the Bryston on Monday. Then the Accuphase P-4600 on Wednesday. Even though the dealer will deliver the 90 lb Pass that will just fit on my shelf seems really to big and heavy. However if both auditions leave me undecided I’ll go back and lis... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @velocityofhue I agree but they are in another weight class. 88-100lbs. | |
| Aurender Conductor App Experience Well I checked today. It was my imagination. It was late. I was tired. With audio the mind can play tricks | |
| Aurender Conductor App Experience Everything good today with iPad. Also switched the Discrete DAC output impedance to low and it’s much better with my amp. Significantly better. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps Just listed my HPA4 on Audiogon | |
| 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. ... |
