Hello John Siau,
Just listen to your post on cables,l totally agree with your comments, as a retired engineer l find the audio land cables fantasy both funny and sad,I have always made up my own cables. This is one area ware the professionals have the answer, that is one reason I have benchmark equipment xlr connectors and speakon connectors ,interesting that the sales team insists that the AHB2 has binding posts, what do you think about a special edition “black professional gold range”
Black front with benchmark picked out in gold ,AHB2 no binding posts,LA4 no RCA just xlr maybe 3 or 4 inputs, DAC3B a xlr digital input, I would definitely buy them and I can’t be alone,
Thanks for your knowledge and understanding,
Very best wishes and thanks for your great equipment,
Stephen Saunders.
