A contrarian's view of inductance in SCs
Vince,How you doin? It's been a long time since we last traded emails. I finally received my Fire preamp from Henry. Can you give me any suggestions on what interconnects you'd suggest between it and my S250 amplifier? I'm running Acoustic Zen San... 
Digital amps overhyped ?
I have the iceh2O amp and preamp from designer Henry Ho (iceh20audio.com) and I couldn't be happier. If you're wanting a warmer sound, you can always use a tube preamp. The preamp/tubes that you choose can make a very big difference. 
Muralmans' amps reviewed Ultra Audio.
Muralman, I was also fortunate enough to demo one of the very rare "Fire" preamp prototypes early last year. It was partnered with my already beloved S H2O amplifier. I thought it was everything you describe and more. There are many of us silent l... 
Amplifier suggestions for Von Schweikert VR4 JR
I'd suggest you checkout one of the Ice H2O digital amps from designer Henry Ho. (There's a nice review of them at 6moons.com. and numerous posts both here on Audiogon and on the Appogee Users Forum on AudioWorld.com. They're only marketed directl... 
Amp with a hard,clean and cold sound...
Grisslehamn, I think I understand what it is you're looking for. Give the H2O lineup a listen. They're amazing pieces of equipment. For comments and informaton go to the Discussion and Virtual systems sections of this website and look under H2O. T... 
what is the best amp $3000.00 can buy
Joe, I suggest you take a look at one of the digital ice H20 amplifiers now being manufactured by designer Mr.Henry Ho in Virginia. I bought one last year and I'm totally satisfied. You can research feedback on this product here under H20 or on Au... 
Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's
I've not listened with the VR 4 Jr's, but with their big brother the VR 4 HSE, they sound wonderful. 
VR4 SE III Owners please help with cable choices..
I've used both the Acoustic Zen Santori and Analysis Plus Oval series cables with my VSA VR4 HSE's, but with different front end equipment, so I can't give you any sort of comparison. Both sounded great to my ears in all frequencies. Either of tho... 
Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct
Denf, If and when you do reaudition the H2O with your TAD Signature 150 please post your comments. I'd personally appreciate your observations and I'm sure others would, as well. 
New H20 Signature S250
Thanks for all your comments. The search continues. 
New H20 Signature S250
Audiofankj, I've probably got less than 50 hours on my S250, so far. The Von Schweikert's aren't broken in yet either, so I was absolutely floored by how good the combination sounded right out of the box. I suspect that everything will improve wit... 
New H20 Signature S250
Greetings all. Since my last post, I've taken the plunge and had Henry build me an S250 signature. All I can say is, Boy am I glad I stumbled into this chat group. I'd have never found out about this wonderful product without it. Thanks all. Right... 
New H20 Signature S250
Help! In reading back over all of the discussions and reviews on Henry's amplifiers, it appears that the best synergies have been found with tubed preamps. Is that true or am I just reading something into it that really isn't there? I've just orde... 
Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks
Bob, I'm considering this amp to use with my Von Schweikert VR-4 HSE speakers. When you update your comments next week on the H2O, would you also include your observations of it with your VSA 4.5's. I'm hoping that it will have the same synergy fo...

Larry, Is this unit powerful enough to handle the Von Schweikert VR 4 HSE? I know you've had them and commented on them with the Spectron Musician 2. How would you compare the two on them on these particular speakers?
