It's unusual that you would find a different post of mine and stick it into this one. I never used the SLI80 as a preamp. It was just a curious question if it would work with no power tubes. I compared the Belles to the PSA with a real preamp (Belles VT-01) and it was just as I said. The PS audio amps had more dynamics and detail.
PS Audio M700s or older Bryston 4bsst / 4bsst2 ?
Bryston products have a huge following and seem to hold their own through the years. I currently have the PS Audio M700s and love them to death but got curious about some of the older Bryston products. I wonder if they're worth exploring being so old. Any thoughts on these two? They would be driving two different systems. One is with the Klipschorn and the other is Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1.. Two very different animals I know.
