| Benchmark Preamps and Amp - For real? I was looking at a ABH2. Instead I think I'm going to try Class D PS Audio Stellar M700 monos. | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I've got a BHK Pre amp coming this week. Next month I'm probably going to order a pair of M700 amps. Maybe...just maybe a BHK 250 instead....we'll see | |
| Anyone ever compare the PS Audio Stellar amp (class D) to Benchmark ABH2 (class a/b)? I just ordered a BHK Preamp and it will be here next week. Next month my plan is to order a pair of Stellar M700 monos. | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? The ZU Audio version 1 cables are still being made and sold on ZU’s eBay page at reasonable prices. I purchased two and they are fantastic | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. My philosophy is that if the sonic signature of an audio item does not suit you right out of the box, no amount of burn in is going to make such a huge difference where you will change your mind. I’m not saying, things will not open up or improve.... | |
| Balanced XLR Mogami Gold vs Canare Star quad cable sound differences? Thanks for feedback. Both amp and preamp will be truly balanced. I may just try Mogami Gold first. They are easy to find locally | |
| Is there an affordable long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there? Anyone tried the Benchmark Branded balanced Canare star quad cables? | |
| Thoughts on my New Rogue Rp-5 Preamp Two issues when new at delivery. I had an overly amount of tube hiss. Much more than normal, even with my high gain amp. One channel was worse than others. I switched channels for tubes, never went away. Plus, the LCD would do this "blinking" thin... | |
| Thoughts on my New Rogue Rp-5 Preamp Thanks. Looks like a good deal. I prefer to purchase new. The BHK seems to be what I am looking for. | |
| Thoughts on my New Rogue Rp-5 Preamp I've now made the decision to sell my wonderful Rogue RP-5 (listed here at AG). I'm now looking at either a Benchmark LA4 or PS Audio BHK preamp. I will need balanced connections for a future amp purchase. I was considering hooking a mytek dac as ... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I have been learning a lot about volume controls of late. In my years of having various components, I have never really thought about volume control quality. Back to the Mytek. Darko has a review up with a preference of an outboard preamp (BHK Pre... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I wonder what quality the Mytek dacs have? I have read that the PS Audio pays special attention to their volume controls. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I just found the Benchmark preamp interesting if someone wanted an ultra quiet, active preamp. The volume control seems to be of real high quality as well. For late night listening, I currently have a Schiit EQ in the effects/tape loop connection ... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? The Benchmark LA4 looks interesting. https://benchmarkmedia.com/products/benchmark-la4-line-amplifier?variant=12552489631861 | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I listened to my Project S2 this morning for about an hour or so. The soundstage was just as good as the Rogue. The Project seemed to present a more "pure" signal where the Rogue added a touch of warmth (it is a tube preamp). Bass, mids sound wond... |
