Hello Muralman1,
What model of Henry Ho amplifiers you use to drive your 1 Ohm speakers?
Caps provide store energy only. Incidently, intial Spectron Musician III also has two or four huge caps. In next geberation they changed it to 100 smaller caps (10-12 times reducing ESR) and difference in sound was more then drramatic.
Ar any rate, I am interested if your amp has switching power supplies or it was based on traditional transformers. Also, switching power supplies are not digital. First Spectron class D amplifier in 1974 also was based on switching power supplies but they do notn use it in their audiophile products.
I visited Mr. Ho web site and he has there two type of power supplies driving the ICE output stage:
#1 M500 - Power Supply: Integrated Switching Mode; $3,000.00 USD a pair
#2 M250 - Power Supply: Integrated Switching Mode; $2.500.00 USD a pair
#3 S250 - Power Supply: Traditional Toroidal Transformer; $3,200.00 USD ea.
#4 M250SA - Power Supply: Traditional Toroidal Transformer;$6,000.00 USD a pair.
#5 S100 - Power Supply: Traditional Toroidal Transformer; $6,000.00 USD ea.
Thank you,
Simon
I would bet a treasure that it was the pair of MA250SA...
