屋企有部好舊既Model 28 Dual Monaural Reference...但係唔知道有幾猛料。。。有無C兄可以比多D資料? 知道係93年前款﹐純甲級 180wpc

Its a good amp!I've got another two models 22 and 80!

BD was proabably the best local commercial product in the 20th century. I like his preamp more.

BD phono amp may be one of the best in the world, far better than those in the market.

Now I still want to buy his 120 power amp.

甘model 28 係唔係旗艦既後級?值幾多錢度?

It seems just only this in that period.

多口問句：你唔知又會有部機享屋企? 你冇開機聽過?

部機我呀哥既﹐佢搬出去留番部機係度

BD stopped production few years back.

Latest model before closing the door included Model80, Model 800, Model160 and Model200, which are all PURE class A amps.

The earlier model 28 or 25 was only class AB and buitlt on blueprint of Krell. Sounwise OK but rought compared to Model 80/800.

Second hand price is no more than a few thousands...

BD's phono amp was amongst the best on earth, MUCH better than those from PassLabs.

Good drive, excellent transparency and lots of harmonics.

What was bad was it took Lau lots of time to build one. And because of the excellent components used, the burnt-in period was unexpectedly long. The new units usually sounded somewhat cold and harsh, mainly because the component was NOT run in after a few years of use!

The pre amps Model 20/10 was also excellent piece of work. Lau later use FET as an upgrade to the bipolar in both his late pre and power amp. Much richer in harmonics but costs were too high while bussiness suffered from the global financial crisis.

BD definitely belonged to the legend of the last century, although falling like most two channel systems nowadays!

Ching,
Do you know if Ben Lau is still in HK and how to contact him? I was one of his early customer when his shop was syill in Northpoint before moving to central. It has been a long time.

Thanks

I remember his shop waa once in Metropolitan Plaza, North Point and the shopkeeper was a young girl.

I have his mobile, although it seems he does not swith on all the time.

Pals who would like to know his number please leave your email address...

He's moved to 屯門.

Listening to his pre and power amp and listen again to the current "high end" models, can't keep on shaking my head.

Unless one is willing to pay more than 100K for a pre amp and another 200K for a power amp, the current "famous" brands sound quite harsh and a total lack of harmonics - maybe a result of the employment of lots of integrated circuits and op amps!

Still remember the good old days where we have LOTs of turntables, LOTS of tuners and lots of tonearms to choose from!

I've got his mobile too! Yes, he always turn off his mobile!

＞＞He's moved to 屯門

Shop or home? I doubt he could re-construct the production now.


＞＞ he always turn off his mobile

Coz mobile harm to the body.

聽到Ben&David名字~~~( 益華音響 )真是想回到廿幾年前的事，我也他們最早期客人，我因為住在北角所以成日去那處聽歌及吹下水，後來佢地搬左去應該是雲華，我比較少去了！大約六年前也有去和Ben公司那處聊下，一年前再去佢己經搬左？不知在那處~~~？？
在屯門那處呢？希望佢再有新機種出來~~~
師兄們如有Ben 電話及電郵也請Pm給小弟，希望有機會再見此老朋友！謝謝
