| Esoteric SA-50 SACD player, Is it for me? "Does anyone know how the variable output on the SA-10 is implemented? Analog like the ML or digitally? "Digitally. However, if its true that they use 32 bit D/A then you have plenty bits to sacrifice before you may "hear" anything at all.I use Jo... | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? Hello Lightminer,Your price comparison would be correct if people would pay MSRP in full. However, in today's economy nobody or rarely pays 100% of the price. Its relatively easy to get discount from dealers.Assuming that percent of discount is th... | |

| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ? Hi Mribob,What Terry refers to as " Spectrons generate a more convincing life like presentation over the Brystons." is the feeling you have when you use ultra high class tube amplifier. Not warm, euthonic a la old Conrad Jonston "maple syrop" but ... | |
| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ? Hi Dev, Mike very clearly stated that his audition was not at the local dealer ( he even wrote "LOCAL(!)" to make sure you understand) - therefore he could not take Bryston amplifier home for home audition.What is not clear to you????Next, Mike un... | |

The biggest problem of these speakers is limited dynamic range so you must use very, very power amplifiers.I would suggest a bit more expensive preamp REX by BAT (if you like BAT sound) driving pairs of ch... | |

| Monoblocks vs Bi-amping "Since you have to buy 2 of these Amps and they're not cheap, does it make any sense to look at other high-end Monoblocks, that don't require Bridging, or Bi-Amping? "Hey Rich, why to discuss things you have no idea about ??? Spectron does not req... | |
