McIntosh and Brystons: Fair comparison ?


lets talk about solid state amps for the Mc and the Brystons.
Are these amps in the same league ?
How is there sonic signature different from the other ?
thanks for the insight.

Sorry to stray off topic but the Shakti Stones tweak on the breaker box is one of the best I've tried. Better yet was adding Alan Maher Designs CBF's inside the breaker panel.
The Shakti Stones are around $200 a piece. You can order them direct here:

They show up used here for about $125 or so. Usually get snatched up fast. Must be a lot of us nearly insane types around here.

The CBF's are $25 a piece. You can order them direct here:

Each product reduces the noise floor, but does so in different ways. The CBF is actually better IMO because it is more compact and can fit inside components or the breaker panel. In either case only way to find out if it works is by trying them out.
