Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Ok, that's interesting. I'll make a note of it. :D 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Zormi, yes I read that review about the Bryston amps. I can't say whether it's right or wrong, because my experience with Bryston far outweighs that of Parasound. Anyway, Bryston is definitely not the best in sound. They are what they are, and tha... 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Zkzpb8, thanks for your thorough explanation. Much appreciated. There's both pros and cons in subjective and objective testing. I have no problem with how anyone feels about Bryston anymore. I used to get upset about it, but life's too short... 
If she isn't into the gear, is she into the music?
Lose anyone who gives you any hassle initially, will only get worse.End of story.Agreed! :D

The best is Audio Technica AT-637.You got that right. :D 
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VPI ??
Sounds pretty bad all the way around. 
My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA
I'm happy to see someone willing to tell the truth about Emotiva; that it's a mid fi brand. Nothing more, nothing less.Enjoy your Parasound...

Let me see if I got this right; the Parasound is flat out better than the Bryston, and the Bryston is only good for the warranty but not sound quality? 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
I'd recommend against a preamp with an integrated DAC. While I understand the convenience factor, digital technology is advancing at a blinding rate. It's the one area of my system that I expect to be obsolete quicker than any other. Being tied to...

Congrats on the Parasound - they make great sounding gear. I love Bryston, but for the money (unless you really want that warranty) they're going to sound exactly the same. Level match them within half a dB and they'll be indistinguishableIs that ...

Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Dave_72, Have you compared the A21 to your 4BSST. I was wondering how I would be able to identify a middle or the road vs really high end component, if I get a chance to compareSorry, I haven't. I have heard them separately. Well, I wouldn't say t... 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
I don't have the opportunity to compare them directly, that's the only reason why I posted the question. I agree that Bryston may have raised their prices too much.I see. Very well then. Well, it looks like you're leaning towards the Parasound stu... 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
The Bryston will probably sound better, but the Parasound is the better value. And one reason is it's made in Taiwan, so the low cost production and labor gets passed on the consumer. Bryston used to be a much better value. I think they've priced ...
