H2O Audio Owners

Can't help much, but I did have the preamp in my system for two weeks. It's very good after 1-2 hour warm up...maybe even ("more than very good").

It runs warm (hot)....just like the old Krell Ksa-250 I had it mated with. I liked it a lot.

I have never heard the amp.

I should temper my former thoughts. I am talking about Henry's gear in conjunction with Apogee Scintillas. I have heard the H2O on Gallo speakers that applied a different costly cable strategy. The sound was quite convincing. One thing, though. The Gallo owner heard his Modright Sony 999 SACD player on my system. Afterwards, I switched the source to the AN. Now the Gallo owner has a very fine player that can go through all steps of oversampling.

The other equipment I will be using with the H2O amp and preamp is Penaudio Serenade speakers and Audio Note transport and DAC.

EXCELLENT!!! The speakers are wonderful.

Which DAC are you using? Henry transformed my former One.1 from a dark mush to a bird chirper. The transformation in my 2.1 was just as startling after Henry got through with them.

The AN folks don't think much of diodes, and install chincy stuff. BIG mistake. The diode plays a crucial part in getting the full music spectrum.

I am using a PSA Lambda transport, also modded by Henry. I love it's sound. Before, it was dark sounding, like the stock AN DAC.

I'm using the CDT-One transport and the Audio Note One 1x Signature Dac.
