| 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... | |
| looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp If you buy one of the Sonnare Ethernet-to-USB products, such as the SonicOrbiter or microRendu you sort of have Ethernet to your DAC. I have both products getting wired Ethernet to my DACs via USB. I also use a PowerLine adapter to extend my Ether... | |
| Luxman L-509X @pokey77 2 days is about right for these shows. It is a 2 hour drive with traffic for me but I think I will do 2 days this time. The show is supposed to move from the airport location to closer to Newport. I think the location is still undecided. | |
