Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Who said entirely ? And no one said low cost....

The SMPS in the Benchmark amp and preamp are not off the shelf low cost units that spew RF. [And just for grins I did the AM radio test. Nothing.]

The point is that a preamp and amp with well designed SMPS can EXCEED the performance of the best linear power supplies. I don't base my listening preference on measurements but on that front, the AP Precision measurements don't lie. The Benchmark AHB2 and LA4/HPA4 are proven to be a couple of the quietest amps and preamps on the market.

Both use SMPS busting the old fart myth that SMPS should be avoided.
