H2O Owner Survey ?

I auditioned the H20 S250 for a few weeks in my system early last year.

Best digital switching amplifier I have ever heard. Very analog like, yet not missing any details. Treble was exceptional (every other PWM amp I heard has been subpar in the higher registers).

It definitely requires a top notch pre-amp that can drive the 10kohm input impedence of the H20. Speaker matching is important as always. The H20 amps have a real high damping factor.

In the end, the H20 did not synergize to the degree I had hoped for in my system. Henry was very understanding and dealt with me with the upmost of professionalism.

If I change gear, I would definitely look up H20Audio again.

Three cheers for you, Loudandclear. I have the utmost respect for you. Not so long ago, someone was asking questions about the H2O. You rose to the occasion, and explained things very well. Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah!

Does Mr Ho provide a schematic and parts list when you buy his amp? This used to be common practice for audio electronics (and is still the norm for pro equipment). With this information any competent electronic shop should be able to fix the amp. If he does it would go a long way to set my mind at ease about the possibility that he may quit the business.

Eldartford, I hadn't known that. none of the amps I have owned carried schematics, and parts lists. Perhaps when Henry's amp venture matures?

I know Henry very well. I can absolutely say, without a doubt, Henry will service his amps to his dying days. He is just that kind of guy.

Muralman1...God forbid, but Henry could get run over by a truck. As I said, the schematic, and better still, a service manual, would eliminate the concern expressed by Loontoon.
