Topping B200 Monoblock Amplifier Review

[Bruce Morgen]

class B with negligible crossover distortion (very nice).... is that correct?

Class AB

 

[fatoldgit]

b) when in a group with Americans I exclude sarcasm as a safety measure. often not well taken or understood.
Just like me in this case :/

Well..

I had to live and work with the buggers for 15 year and sarcasm is a National Sport in my native country of New Zealand.

Lots of "swooshing" sounds and much merriment ensued.

But everyone survived and no one pulled a gun on me!!!! (well once but I wont regale you with that story)

Get it from Apos if you want to feel safe. They were extremely helpful and gracious in dealing with my problems and getting me replacements for my numerous failed B100s.

Dumb question, but how do you connect two 12V trigger cables? Would a Y adapter be required?

 

[Azathoth]

This is sweet, I'll be moving to my new home in soon and I'm thinking of getting a proper stereo setup with passive speakers and whatnot. Guess I got the amps right here!

Topping include a trigger cable that allows to connect to the next box. Daisy chaining

Topping B200 Amplifier Review [Video]

Here is the video review of Topping B200 monoblock audio amplifier: Had a target of getting it done in 5 minutes but instead, it took 13 minutes. Play it at 2X the rate and it will come close to my target. :D Please subscribe to the channel. It is not monetized but like to make sure our...

considering it's a monoblock it's disappointing it doesn't have a trigger repeater/out to daisy chain.

I'm sure you can buy splitter cables, but it's nicer to just daisy chain this kind of thing. That would be much more useful than 3 inputs.

Each amp comes with an Y-type trigger cable. Thus you could daisy chain any number of B200.

Oh boy… the verbal diarrhoea of audiophile words about the B200 is amazing!

Yeah, quite hard to digest

I'm still having trouble comprehending this:

Where is the 192.6W cursor?

Would someone please explain that? It is quite relevant, I believe, in a context of data driven reviews.

 

[jdjung]

Thanks @amirm.

DAC solved
Amplifier solved
Cables solved

Now only left with speakers, arguably.

For the money Ascend Acoustics Sierra V2 for bookshelves. I followed this with price points. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...-recommendations-for-usa-by-sweetchaos.28296/

 

[Tlow98]

Well, this is exciting. My b200s are boxed and awaiting the pre90 that arrives tomorrow. Yay!

Great timing - thanks @amirm ! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning

This is my first ‘big boy’ setup. I have a feeling my Elac UBR62 might be holding me back a bit, but that’s a worry for another day.

Not sure, you could be just wrong on this. Great speakers especially for the price. Masterpieces by Andrew Jones.

It seems that a bridged LA90D is considerably more powerful than a B200:

I assume they use a similar power brick?

Your Chat GPT constructed remarks are so funny! LMAO.

But:
There are YouTubers out there who are claiming this kind of nonsense SERIOUSLY !!!

Look:

So I had to answer this gentleman’s nonsense claims in a YouTube comment. And I tried to react respectful and seriously.
It was hard for me - I wrote:


„You are the subjectivist of all subjectivists - besides the nonsense you are talking about nested feedback timing problems.Didn’t you read Bruno Putzeys f-word articles??? I think Bruno’s information is a tiny bit more valuable!I think, you have heard, what you has expected to hear.For you, feedback is an ugly thing, because you didn’t understand, that it makes an amp „quicker“ and not „slower“ and also better in rising times, bandwith and the whole time domain.Your expectation became reality in your brain, because the differences in sound are tiny, of course.So, for you the B200 sounded slow, muffled, sluggish……It is, like Bruno sayed: They only read the Maty Otala Articles in 1973 half!Imagine what you would have heared, if you had done a proper unbiased Double Blind Test with B200 and the top Class-D-Constructions of Bruno Putzeys or the Benchmark AHB2 included…..Yes, also the Benchmark is as extremely good as it is, BECAUSE of Feedback and not DESPITE Feedback.And the B200 are even more than 40% more powerful, more linear and 2 x „cleaner“ in the high frequency range,because time stood not still and the Benchmark Construction has begun in 2008. In other words, the Topping B200 is the best power amp so far (worldwide), as close to a peace of wire

He cannot handle the truth.
His channel from hardcore subjectivity changed to hardcore subjectivity with added bait titles and even bigger nonsense claims.

One of the biggest waste of time on YouTube. Don't waste time on him. He only cares about views
