I just performed a search on H2O and came up with a number of results. Interestingly enough, most of which were from you – Muralman. You seem to be quite the vocal trumpeter to Henry Ho’s ICE based amps. I have to tip my hat in respect for your passion, although I have to say it does border on fanaticism. ;)
Over a year ago, Henry opened his doors for yours truly to get an ear on his many Apogees along with his H2O amplifiers (and other VERY special goodies). It is a shame that personal life has gotten in the way of Henry taking H2O further. He has some designs that could knock more than just a few audiophile’s socks off. Alas, things always boil down to women, don’t they?
While I enjoyed his S-250’s and smaller amplifiers – I’d have to say his best amp running is the $2000 S-150 stereo amplifier. Anymore, most manufacturers take the cheap road when offering amplifiers in this range – and why not? The profit margins are wonderful. This S-150 however, is just a beast. Standard 100 wpc of ICE power, four transformers totaling over 1KW with 400,000 micro-ferrets of capacitance per channel in an extremely heavy and solid aluminum chassis – there’s just nothing else in the market like it.
Sound-wise, its like everything else; it'll either work for you or it wont. However, it is without a doubt the best damned ICE powered amp I've heard; Rowland eat your heart out!
Hopefully things over the next few months will improve and he will have the opportunity to get them into production.
