tigerwoodKhorns Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I seem to remember Dean G using a Carver Tripath amp and a Behringer eq. Dean, any commnets on these units? Has anyone here had any experience with the EAR digital amps? Are there any other digital amps out there that I am missing? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 This may be the cat's meow. I have not heard one, but the reviews are outstanding. http://www.belcantodesign.com/prod_evo2.html http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1123986117 Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Had the Carver for a few days along with a QSC PLX-1602. I sent the Carver back and kept the QSC. The highs on the Carver were too soft. I like the Behringer, it's a great tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you point me to a thread where you review it. I have put a lot of blind faith in the guru's here (you, AL, Craig) and have been very happy with each purchase so far. How does it compare to tubes? The 1602 seesm to have a "little" excess power, should I look at a lower powered model in the line (if one exists)? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Lots of different pro amps Panasonic & H.K. recievers Carver-Pro Rowland Theta Spectron Tac-T Flying Mole H20 P.S. Audio Maybe these will give you something to get started with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yeah, I actually bought the 1602 by accident, having got the part number from parts express reversed with the 1202. I didn't realize it until I got home, and since it wasn't that much more money I said the heck with it. Even the 1202 is overkill at 200wpc. You won't find any "audiophile" type reviews on it. Pro amp reviews focus on things like how long can they run full out without catching on fire. I bought the amp on a recommendation from Trey. I think it's an excellent sounding amp for the money.

bkrop Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Dean, I must have blinked! When did that big VAC amp move out of your rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 It got moved out when I decided it sounded great but not $2500 great. At the list price of near $8000, forget it -- there's stuff for a lot less I've heard that sounds just as good. My son snagged the QSC out my system for his RF-7s, and gave me his Quicksilvers in trade. Everything in this class of gear sounds good, just different. Fact is, the Peach does it all, and just doesn't let anything sound bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that the 1602 is not necessary (even though it is only $100 extra). Is this amp Outstanding and can compare to much more expensive amps or is it just a good amp for the money? (I am running a Peach and and Teac 7000 and really like the sound, just a little underpowered in the bass). I read that I should get the $50 mike with the Behringer. I seem to remember a different mike that was less that was reccomended (or the same price but a better mike) Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Spinner Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 i think the $$$ for the 1602, moves you into Class H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I'm pretty sure the bottom two in the PLX line (1202 & 1602) are the same topology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 1202 and 1602 have switching power supplies, but conventional Class A/B output stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
