Speakers for Bryston
Seriously I would not be concerned with just your speakers, but the 4BSST amp. Bryston is a cold, clinical, and grainy sound.The reason for this is not because Bryston 'tells it like it is', but because Bryston engineers come from a pro audio back... 
Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement?
I am amazed there are so many people out there who have heard a 15k power cable. 
RIP - Richard Brown, BEL
Apparently noone has been able to figure out how the BEL amps sounded so good. Mr Brown must have been doing some tuning or has knowledge of his circuit that is not readily apparent from others purusing the schematics.Is this still the case, and f... 
What Solid State PreAmp?
This is high end audio. He has probably has 4 different preamps since then. 
Any Mojo Audio Power cable owners ?
I have no idea about the their power cables, but an hour ago I installed their digital cable with magnet upgrade. Total cost was $200 for 1m.It has been the most signifcant system upgrade I have ever done. Certainly better than any other cable upg... 
Possibly the best pre-amp one can have
Has anybody contacted Charlie and heard this pre?The logic of using high bandwidth video op-amps is something very different to what else is out there."The pre-amp has the flattest frequency response with no distortion (because of the wide bandwid...

Aren't these things battery powered? 
DarTZeel Preamp
Pointing out a paragraph in an owners manual as proof that there is no break in required, could be seen as a cover story by Jeff Fritz to justify his lack of effort in doing the review properly.The truth will be hear when ... was the owners manual... 
DarTZeel Preamp
If Jeff Fritz was told to break the amp in for 30 days and remove dc compensation and it was not done, this can mean only 2 things1. There was a hidden agenda to give a poor review.2. Pure laziness on the part of the reviewer to do the work requir...

Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp
