Buckeye Amps: Purifi Mono, 2ch, and 3ch Official Thread

[Buckeye Amps]

I see $950 for the new purifi preorder. What was the sale price? Are they going to be offered at they going to be offered at the sale price again at some point?

Sale price was $895 for the first week, then $925 for the remainder.

Possibly but it wouldn’t be for a while

Thanks, bad timing on my part.

While not the same as a measurements review, our 3ch amplifier was just featured in a review on one of the major A/V sites (don't want to link if not allowed).

With every success, always want to say thank you to this community!

The OP says the spring sale is on. Over, correct?

It is over, sorry for the outdated OP

I’m good, thanks. Just trying to help out by pointing out.

As soon as I can justify replacing perfectly fine amplification, I’ll be your way first.

I've had some time to run in the new Purifi 1ET7040SA V2 monoblocks from Buckeye.

More power than I suspect I'll require, and wonderful indeed - at twice the price. Nothing technical to add, but Dylan is a joy to deal with, answered all my questions and I could recommend him to anyone looking for something similar.

One more note: the cases on these monoblocks is perfect in my opinion, and BETTER than I had expected. Very solid, simple and adequately ventilated.

The four heavy duty screws on the east and west sides, that hold the top on, mount into deep robust threading that appear to be integrated into the side/bottom panel. Meaning, you have more threads than just the thickness of the sheet steel, you have a full 3-4mm of threads. I also pinched for the SpeakON connectors, stunningly good!

Very robust enclosure...

i Just scored a Buckeye Purifi 1ET400A stereo amp in a white case on eBay. It looks brand new. I read in earlier posts that there were some issues identified by Amir in the measurements in his initial review of the 3-channel Purifi amp and that those issues were rectified. How can I make sure the amp I just purchased is the latest, corrected version? Thanks.

Ask @Buckeye Amps if he knows of anything.

I believe the problem is inaudible. But if you want to be sure the "problem" has been resolved, verify the amp has been upgraded as follows:

Thanks. Here is a photo of the internals of the amp I purchased. Can anyone tell if the upgrade has been performed?

No. It hasn't.

I have my eyes set on a B&W 803D2. I currently have a Buckeye 3-channel Purifi 1ET400A amp. Would this be enough to run them?

These are the speakers

B&W 803 D3 Floor Standing Loudspeaker Review - HomeTheaterHifi.com

The B&W 803 D3 is part of a top-to-bottom, revolutionary rethink of an iconic speaker line. It features cutting edge speaker technologies combined...

hometheaterhifi.com

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER:​

50 – 500 Watts RMS into 8 Ohms

The Purifi I have is

225w @ 8ohm per channel


The numbers add up. But I know some people are running incredibly fancy amps to these speakers, but I was curious if the Buckeye will fit the bill?

Thank you.

No. It hasn't.

It's a minor issue. Just ask Dylan/Buckeye to send you the self-repair kit and instructions, or if you're worried about messing it up, send in the amp. Not a big deal at all.

Have you considered the Hypex instead? 700/500/380w at 2/4/8ohm? I'm going to guess, and others can tell me if I'm wrong, that up to the 225W capacity of the Purifi, you'd likely hear no difference between the two. https://www.buckeyeamp.com/shop/p/hypex-ncx500-amplifier-3-channel.

Also, if the impedance curve is available for those speakers it would help answer the question if a more powerful amp would make a difference. I suspect not since the purifi do so well at both current and voltage handling.

Ask @Buckeye Amps if he knows of anything.

I’ll second asking @Buckeye Amps or the previous owner. I work on a lot of his amps and I cannot be sure visually. The newer spades are marginally wider if supplied by Buckeye. If the owner updated, then the only way to test is with a magnet. The newer parts are NOT magnetic.

I would go with one of the higher power offerings especially if those speakers are in a big room or you are running any kind of DSP.
