| Preamp Deal of the Century No problem, SteveM. To get back to on subject. I read through most of this novel sized topic, and was warmly amazed. Most of the talk has been about seasoning Supratek preamps. Reading of rare tube swaps does have my mouth watering. Especially Asa... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Excuse me, Stevem1960, my post is about the Fire preamp. I can only relate it to my experience. The H2O is mentioned only to provide a back drop. In going back to previous posts, it seems some people have already dropped the name of my amp on this... | |
| Mono blocks-High current/low impedance...options? You certainly can not measure my amp's frequency response. You have no idea what the sound of my amps are. None. Just the fact you lumped Rowland, PS Audio, Henry's and your amps together shows you haven't a clue. There hasn't been a listener to H... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Henry Ho's "Fire" preamp. Eeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Matched with his H2O Sigs, Oh, I don;t know, I have run out of superlatives. | |
| Mono blocks-High current/low impedance...options? Art, I'll take all you have said as criticism of your own ICE amps. After all, it wouldn't be kosher for a builder to impinge a competitor's products with a broad brush, would it? The reason why your criticism falls flat is because my speakers, li... | |
| Mono blocks-High current/low impedance...options? Hey Art - send your most robust amp hither and we'll smoke it. ;)By the way, my speakers are .8 ohm. I don't listen to music higher that 90 dB as a rule. With Henry's Fire preamp, I'm getting +20 amp transients. There is a nearby audiophile that i... | |
| What Is Best Monoblocks For Around $10,000 Used? Why do you want to spend so much? I owned the Pass X600. The fellow who sold them to me found several solid state amps he likes better, and ended up with the biggest Boulders. I went another direction entirely, and ended up with MH2O Signature mon... | |
| Mono blocks-High current/low impedance...options? H2O output impedance: 0.005 ohmsinput impedance: 8 Kohmsminimum load impedance: 2 ohmscurrent output: 45 amps. | |
| H2O S250 vs CIA D-200 vs PS Audio GCA-500 Write to Henry Ho, and ask if you can try his amp. Be sure to ask for a Signature model. Hearing is believing.http://www.iceh2oaudio.com/ | |
| Looking for a new powerful amp. I have Henry Ho's H2O Signature Monos mated with his new "Fire" preamp. They are powering the world's toughest speaker load like it is a play thing, other monster amps wimped out on. Their sound is what I like to characterize as, "Finest tubes on ... | |
| Historical look at amps Audio Girl, we all live inside our heads, don't you know? There isn't a thing you feel, touch, hear, that isn't a product of your brain activity. :) Ar_t has said, repeatedly, tucked into his long winded lectures, ICE highs are wrong. I say, the I... | |
| Historical look at amps Ar_t you won't find the H2O at a dealership, nor the eAR. Being they are rare, the odds they both are in the same room with your amp, and a Rowland, sounds like the stuff of fiction. Who, and how, did this shootout come about? Let's settle this. ... | |
| Historical look at amps Well, Unsound, that is exactly what Ar_t is doing, "Expounding on a trait that is most damning," and it confounds me. I am not talking about class D amps on my speakers. Sajran reviewed the amp with Gallo speakers, for gosh sakes.There are plenty ... | |
| Historical look at amps Bombaywalla, Ar_t may have topologies of tube, and solid state down, but his "bright" characterization of D amps is off the mark. I don't know of any owners of sophisticated class D amps complaining about HF. | |
| Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20? Art, my highs are pristine. If you look at that graph dcarefully, you would see the dead short has the widest divergence from the other three. The 16 ohm line has maybe a 1/8 dB divergence, while the 4 and 8 ohm lines remain tied beyond 20dB. The ... |
