Who is using their DAC as a preamp?
When I was awaiting my new Rogue RP-5 preamp a couple years back, I used my project s2 Dac ( only digital inputs) as my main pre. I was amazed how good it sounded. much better than the Peachtree nova pre I had just sold.the RP-5, besides all the i...

Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
I own the STA200 and imo, there is not much a better amp suited for a passive pre. For giggles, I hooked my SYS to it directly, plus my Pro-Ject Prebox s2, and the sound was fantastic and quiet. I do prefer my RP-5 which seems to add a little bit ... 
BHK Sig. 250 ?
I was thinking it would be a great match for my RP-5 tube pre and Zu Speakers. I wish it had the ability to go "mono" so one could add another 250 in the future. I know the 300 are monos, however, they are quite expensive. I have seen used pairs a... 
BHK Sig. 250 ?
The BHK 250 is now on my list. A few used ones out there that makes the price more affordable. I would like to hear comparisons, if any, of the 250 to the Benchmark AHB2 amp. I know they are two entirely different breeds and price points.

Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect?
I wish more amps had gain adjustments like the Benchmark. Accuphase comes to mind for the gain feature. I always wanted to try an Accuphase amp, however, way pricey (for me anyway) 
Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect?

Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect?
I'm now on the email list when the amps get back in stock. I guess if you had one and decided to move on to something else, now would be the time to list it 
Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect?
Since my speakers are 101 db efficient and my current 80 watt amp will run you out of the room, I'm probably good with a single unit. However, I always wanted monoblocks.

Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
I may just have to try one and be done with it 
Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
I found it interesting the amp is out of stock thru Benchmark direct. Back ordered at B&H. Maybe some issue with part shortages or manufacturing plant. One would think that if a new version was close, one would hear something at recent audio s... 
Nuforce STA200
I originally had Blue jeans interconnects and they sounded fine. I am in the process of building my own cables.  
Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
Benchmark has been "sold Out" of the AHB2 for a while. Just curious if a new version is coming pretty soon.
