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

I ended up with a Musical Fidelity A3CR when looking for the best for the price of dirt ($600 on ebay) and am still glad I did.
Re ART amps, are the "Euroblock" connectors recommended?

If I have to spend big bucks on weird cables, this amp might no longer be as "cheap as dirt"?

It's not that complicated. The SLA1 and SLA2 accept single-ended 1/4" phone plugs, balanced XLR, and balanced Euroblock. The SLA4 accepts single-ended 1/4" phone plugs and balanced Euroblocks.

In either case, if you have single-ended RCA interconnects, just get some RCA-to-1/4" adapters. If you used balanced XLR, you can plug them in as-is to the SLA1 and SLA2. If you want to use balanced XLR to the SLA4, you would replace the XLR plugs at that end with Euroblocks, which cost about $1 apiece from electric/electronic parts suppliers.
