| Pontus, Brooklyn+ or Benchmark 3? Pros and Cons @soix: thank you! I expected the amp to sound good when it came back, but what I got was even better than I had expected. Unfortunately, I don't think I can give you the answer you're looking for; I just don't know how to phrase it any better th... | |
| Pontus, Brooklyn+ or Benchmark 3? Pros and Cons @kjanki: That's good to know; I was wondering if I'd hear noticeable improvement going from the v1 to the v3. Thanks!@mahler123: interesting piece of info (I assume you meant Mytek, not Myth -- damned spellcheck!). Thank you! | |
| Pontus, Brooklyn+ or Benchmark 3? Pros and Cons thanks guys — I now have two responses with two different recommendations; isn’t anyone going to stand up for Benchmark? Seriously, I do appreciate the replies, but if anyone could give me some idea of how the sonic characteristics of these th... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? +1 for McCormack - great value, and if you need it Steve is still refurbishing them. | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? 1971 Santana concert at the Allentown Speedway in PA. Not normally a great venue, the audience is sitting in aluminum bleacher seats with the band on the other side of the racetrack, concession stands behind and underneath the bleachers. Concert... | |

| Does Age Matter? I’m 69 — had a decent system in HS and college, that included home built Dynaco pre and power amps, Revox A77 R2R and Dual 1219 TT with a Stanton 681EEE. Then a LONG dry spell, during which my collection of ~1500 LPs was stolen. Got back into it f... | |
| Optimize Stereo Experience - NYC Studio +1 on the DAC — great gear is available for $500 to $2000, and the electronics have made huge improvements in recent years. New or used (as long as it’s 2015 forward) it’s hard to imagine you’ll find better bang for the buck. | |
| 2021 audio system wish list Auditioning a few DACs at home, to see if I can make a significant improvement over my Benchmark 1 without breaking the bank. Happy New Year everyone! | |
