Fremer lays an Ostrich egg...
Regarding the Bryston thing: Yes, I remember that, however it says right in the measurements section that there was an impedance mismatch. Game over. It shows a lack of tech knowledge on the part of Fremer, imo.Anyway, to me it's just a review, an... 
Fremer lays an Ostrich egg...
Well, then there's the Bryston 7B debacle which turned out that Fremer had an impedance mismatch between his preamp (DartZeel if I remember correctly) and the Bryston amps.Stereophile has yet to do a follow up even after I heard from a Bryston rep... 
Accuphase preamps
Hi Paul,Yeah, I'm glad I waited it out now. Now I can get the current model, but yeah, it will be a bit more expensive. But that's progress, right? haha.Yeah, sounds good. I did compare the C-2410 and C-2420, but not the C-2400. The C-2420 does ha... 
Any feedbacks on the JBL S4700?
I too am interested in the S4700s. So thanks for your review here. Much appreciated.

Choosing a Solid State Class A/B integrated amp
hi Donjr,A review is to be taken with a grain of salt. Class A is the best for sound, period. I look forward to your assessment of that unit. 
Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
I dunno, they're rather dull and uninvolving speakers, imo. 
Accuphase C-27 phono preamp
Yes, you are correct. I haven't found an Accuphase dealer yet that has one on demo. Ok, cool, your description sounds good. And I will be pairing it with an Accuphase preamp and amp, so no problems there. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
