| Any Spendor D9 owners out there? My buddy gave me a listen to his D7's using an Audio Research tube amp and Berkeley DAC direct into amp. It was a great sounding system. I normally dislike tubes. | |
| Hegel H360 vs Separates I heard both the H360 and the H30 at the LA Audio Show last June. They were driving the KEF Blades. The goal of Hegel at the show was to show how close the Rost | H360 | H30 sounded on the great KEF Blades. Most people thought the H360 was a fine ... | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 I was going to go to a place in Calabas, CA to hear the Bryston with KEF when I go for my original KEF demo in Newport Beach. However, the Bryston guy in Calabas, CA no longer has KEFs. Check out the Bryston cubed units for sale on A’Gon. The pric... | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 I should add that I heard the KEF Reference 1 at the last LA Audio show driven by the following Wyred4Soud gear:"MS Music Server (was prototype then, it is now released), our 10th Anniversary DAC, and a pair of our SX-1000R mono block amplifiers"t... | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 @lak,I was looking for that extra Bryston info last night and went to the source. Read the complete thread.http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=151889.0They talk about issues I had raised about the Bryston. I used to own the BP25 + MPS-2 pre... | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 I am going to check out the new Bryston gear just so I cover all the bases. The new gear is supposed to sound more mellow than my older Bryston and the used prices of a 4B3 + BP173 is around the $6K range. | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 @scott_w,Thanks, with that info I guess I can demo just one AHB2 amp in stereo mode instead of 2 as mono blocks with 380 watts at 8 Ohms. Stereo is 100 watts at 8 Ohms. Then both DAC and amp will cost about $5300 new, | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 Thanks for the feedback. The Benchmark AHB2 is not a class D but a Class AB and Class H."The AHB2 makes use of THX Corporation's Achromatic Audio Amplifier (AAA) technology, in which a low-power feed-forward amplifier drives a low-bias class-AB ou... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Some dude is selling a brand new Hegel HD30 for $3.6k. I would buy it myself if not for the fact that I may buy some speakers this month. I am also considering the PS Audio DS but the Hegel would win out at the price difference. | |
| peachtree amp vs. traditional amp @bubba12Can you expand on why you grew tired of the Devialet. I am considering this integrated for a future system just for the convenience factor. I have heard this unit and it was OK. I rationalized the convenience would override the OK sound I ... | |
| peachtree amp vs. traditional amp I was also wondering if the Peachtree would sound cold and sterile since I bought it used without an audition from A'Gon. I was pleasantly surprised that it did not sound that way. I have had some amps back in the day that did sound cold and steri... | |
| peachtree amp vs. traditional amp I recently changed my office system from KEF LS50 speakers + Parasound A23 amp + Benchmark DAC2 HGC to the following, KEF LS50 + Peachtree Nova 150.The sound is clearer and better in my opinion over the prior combination. The Peachtree also has a ... | |

| looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp @dougmintThe Thread is really just a question I asked to pick the brains of the digital experts around here.

| looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp Let me also add that the beauty of the Sonnare products is that a noisy computer does not matter. SInce the Ethernet-to-usb isolated that for you. The computer becomes a black box in the audio chain. I am currently listening to music from my serve... |
