The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt


The Berringer a 500 Reference Amp that can be purchased on Musican's Friend web site for 194.00( each) to your house in the US of A w/ a 2 year warranty is a KILLER. I have several amps and these are scarey. Granted they were designed overseas & built in China... However, they are 19lbs GIANTS . Don't take my word go to the "Audio Critic" web site for a full review. This is my one an only give-away . Use it or loose it. Best to 'All

It seems like the trusty Behringers are still the reference standard for the price of dirt.

For those of you who try to pay your bills by selling Ongaku amps, I will concede that one of my "monoblocks" has a noisy volume control after two years of constant use.

Perhaps this can be fixed with some contact cleaner.

They otherwise continue to sound great and work like champs with my ATC monitors on my desktop.

cheers,
has someone mention diyparadie charlize ta2020? Can't beat it's value for money for only less than $100. Someone might ask what can $100 amp do in term of hifi? Just find out more at their forum. It's claimed to beat multi thousand dollar tube amp

Hope this help. Just a v satisfied customer for the money paid. It's in module form though

Milen007, Thank you for stopping bye. I did go to the web site and the T Switching Amp named "charlize" did look interesting, but Oh Charlize is a beauty ... her picture depicts a true motion picture star. I have watched all of her films.

As for the Amp it certianly qualifies as a DIY'er and for someone that feels 10W is what they need to create beauty... Go For It ...
Recently, I purchased a beautiful pair of Mageplaner 12OR's that I mated with the A-500's and Mapleshade Double Helix Speaker Cable. A match made in heaven. I have used several front ends all sucessfully. For far-less than 1K using a digital front end including Sony HD Radio, anyone can have a mono-block system with planar speaker that competes with just about everything out there , deep bass exempted. A Hi-End life anyone can afford without going broke.
"High-End" relative to YOUR discernment. The Behringers Behr-ly sound like music in a professional application(when they work). That's why I'll only install/recommend them for my won't-budge-cheapskate venue or musician customers. Have fun with your get-what-you-pay-for thread, and all the "last words" you want. =8^)
