| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/power-amp-comparison-cambridge-edge-w-benchmark-ahb2-bryston-...A detailed comparison with the 4B3 & AHB2. The AHB2 is without a doubt a nice piece, and at it's price point, perhaps the best option. | |
| what's going on with specs? Pay attention to what many do not publish.Current & Capacitance? Sometimes you have to call. Not sure what you mean by strong but if you want resiliance during demanding transients then capacitance is your friend. Also, the actual details of ... | |
| Telling musicians to evaluate and choose their instruments in a “scientific” way? Oh my. This will rattle some feathers at ASR. I am always amazed when they claim one DAC sounds the same as any other with equal measurements. | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp @chungjh Only a few. I did the research before choosing the 4B3 and chose the preamp (EAR Yoshino) because the seller confirmed the pairing and Dr. Mertins at Fairaudio.de uses this pairing in a reference system to evaluate audio products. One of ... | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp @chungjh Can verify that cubed series is indeed highly resolving. I can hear the difference immediately when I change IC between the DAC, pre amp and my 4B3. Speakers are magnepan. Transparency is their thing but I think much is attributed to t... | |

| Are Pre-Amps necessary? Yes | |

| Help! I Need An Amp Purchase Option Other Than PayPal PT Barnum got it right..........Have used paypal for years with no problems. Something would have to be horribly wrong to be banned from paypal. | |
| My Experience With Tekton @mozartfan No worries mate. Its a bit like reading James Joyce. Takes some getting used to but it works just fine. Maybe you can pen your own versioin of "Portrait of an Audiophile..."Cheers, take it all with a few grains of salt. | |
