Liquid Platinum. THX AAA789 is overrated.

Can you pls compare both?

 

[alphanumerix1]

How is the thx 789 overrated? I'm yet to hear a better SS amp in that price range.

Tested against higher price options such as the cayin iha6 and audiogd nfb1amp.

Has anyone tried the LCD4 on the LP? Impressions?

 

[llcook51]

I tried it when I first got the LP and did not like the sound. It sounded "muffled" to me; however, I tried them again last night (after getting about 150+ hours on the LP). What a world of difference! The bass is distinct and powerful. The highs are clear and ringing. Happy Ears.

I wish I could give you an extensive answer, but I haven't used many NOS tubes for a while. For my production purposes I thought that the EH 6922 and the Genalex 6922 were great for a starter tube and a step up tube with current production tubes.

I bet the rest of the folks on this thread would have a lot to say about this though. Maybe some of them will chime in.

Thanks again for your response and wonderful products sir !

My LP amp won’t turn on anymore !!!! I did nothing wrong, it just won’t turn on. When I turn it on the green light on the brick flashes on and off...
So sad. I’m covered both by Paypal and Monoprice right? There’s not even 20 hours on it.

Monoprice will replace it. Try it out on a different electrical socket with it plugged directly into it. See if it exhibits the same behavior. Also I’m wondering if it’s doing that’s because the tubes may not be pushed in all the way as you mentioned earlier.

Just returned it for a replacement. I tried it in a different socket, same issue. I pushed the tubes as far as I could...it shouldn’t be rocket science anyways. I hope the replacement unit will get there fast and working because I loved the sound of this amp.

What amp of the same price range could compete with this one ?

Sent mine back for replacement on 12/6 and the replacement amp is scheduled for delivery on Mon 12/17 so turnaround for me is between 10 and 14 days. I love the amp too, and hope I have no more problems.

If you want to stick with a tube hybrid, the Schiit Mjolnir 2 is an alternative and near the same price.

Monoprice currently has 10% off if you use Amazon Pay to pay for it. I just ordered one. Basically the $70 off covered tax and shipping. Not thrilled about hearing a couple having to be replaced already.

Yeah I hope we’re not gonna end up with a “great deal” that turns out to be chi fi crap.

Sounded like a problem with the SMPS, rather than the amp itself, based on your earlier post.

 

[Serge Bernamej]

Maybe. I’m now back listening to my Taurus mkii, and really I miss the LP. On;y 4 days of LP made listening to music so intense. Taurus has a cleaner sound but less emotional.

 

[Rattle]

I've got about 50 hours on mine and it's been solid. Hope to add to that this weekend. I wouldnt mind grabbing a spare SMPS just in case.

Looks like my delivery has moved up to today - exactly 11 days turnaround - yay, I'm very happy
