| Bryston owners ONLY Sunnyboy--I agree with you about the ARC LS2 with Brystons. I'm using an LS2 MK2R, into 7B-STs. Wish I had the version, like yours, with balanced inputs, however. So far I haven't found one with remote as well.jp | |
| Bryston owners ONLY I started with one 4B-ST, driving Sound Lab A-3s. Bought an additional 4B-ST for bridging. Read/spoke with several experts about pros and cons of bridging and decided to replace them with 7B-STs, with which I'm very happy. Still wonder if by doing... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? Rick-- I might just do the same thing, and keep my Bryston 7B-STs until...Are the orders that backed up that there is a waiting listof a month or so? We just missed a pair on the classifieds that went for $2950, but you probably already knew this.... | |
| What should I do to improve my digital sound? Thoughts in passing:I find it interesting that at the same time CD players are becoming more and more sophisticated, and more costly (two years ago, if someone had predicted that I would spend what I've spent on digital gear, I would have laughed ... | |
| What should I do to improve my digital sound? The Chord DAC64 was certainly the answer to my prayers. Before I discovered it, as the result of reading the favorable review in Hi-Fi+, I was ready to bail out on digital completely and go balls-out on an update of my analog source. I replaced a ... | |

| Reference quality sacd discs Hhh--I hate to be a contrarian, but I have the Water Lily disc and wish I hadn't wasted my money! Can't object to the music or the performance, but as far as I'm concerned, it might as well have been recorded in mono. Although I've followed the pr... | |
| Reference quality sacd discs Richard--IMHO, there's not a lot from which to choose in the way of classical SACDs. This is the main reason I've been reluctant to invest much in hardware. I don't really enjoy all of the rehashed older analog stuff---too much of it was heavy-han... | |
| What's under YOUR CD player? Mine rests on a 3" thick slab of berylium which floats in a vat (a welded-up construction made of unobtainium) of mercury that is suspended from the ceiling (I hate footfall effects!). It works great, but it's a real bitch every time I have to rel... | |
| FOR CEC Owners I bought my TL-1X after I had already bought my Chord DAC64. I didn't even know about a CEC dac until recently.I've found the Chord to be a perfect companion for the CEC. Obviously there are more opinions about this than there are combinations of ... | |
| What interconnects with SACD 1000 ? Brainwater-I couldn't agree more with your comments! Even ignoring his poorly-assembled collection of misspelled words, Infinity_audio's dribble should be considered nothing more than amusement. His "reviews" (what pomposity!), at least those rega... | |
| I am looking for a smoothest sounding outboard DAC Ljgj--Just out of curiosity, what transport are you using with the DAC64? I use a CEC TL1X primarily, but I also have a Burmester 001 and have occasionally used its digital outinto the Chord.Just to dip a toe into the SACD water, I recently bought... | |
| I am looking for a smoothest sounding outboard DAC I'm happy to second the endorsement of the Chord DAC64. I haven't had opportunity to try lots of dacs, but the Chord, discovered entirely by accident through an issue of HiFi+, has made it possible for me to enjoy CDs for the first time.To my old ... | |
| CD Player - Amp Direct Burmester 001 has integral preamp with analog out direct to power amplifier. (Sixty step volume control.) | |
| Mark Levinson 31.5 vs. CEC TL0 MK2 Hey Gamp-- You misunderstood my meaning. Assuming you have experience with the CEC and the Levinson in question, I'd like to understand your opinion regarding the two.Since no one else has stepped forward and offered a translation, here's what I'v... |
