New H20 Signature S250

Hi all,

I just finished a very satisfying audition of the H20 Signature Stereo. It is a wonderful sounding amp and Henry is a true gentleman to deal with! I could easily live with this amp and may yet, but... there is at least one more amp that I would like to audition. The Butler 2250 has me very intrigued and I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with that amp. I realize that it is a completely different animal and that it sucks up a lot more household power (from the specs) than the ultra efficient ICE power amps. I do environmental work and I live in California, so reducing my energy bills does matter... up to a point. Thanks.

How long have you had the H2O? After break in, there are system changes you can look at to bring the very best out the H2O. I have heard the Butler, but never the two in the same room. The Butler is a fine amp. I'm in California too. The H2O is a green machine, and so is my theater projector.

According to Harry, the unit was fully broken in. I only had for it for about 5 days which was long enough for me to get a good feel for the sound. And a very fine sound it was! There was some transformer hum though that Harry attributed to either loose transformers from all the shipping and/or DC from my power line. I was wondering if the PS Audio "Humbuster" would cure that problem?

Yikes... I said Harry when I meant Henry. I think it's my bedtime!

Any thoughts on leaving the S250 powered on continuously or power down after each listening session?
