Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst?
I can't run my 28s with my pre past 9:00(I could but she'd rock the neighbourhood+mine).A couple of thousand watts,you could fill up a 300-500 seat bar and with plenty of sound to spare.Now if I ever get a bigger house,WE ARE MORE THAN READY.I was...

Bryston BDA-1 DAC, any thoughts?
The BDA-1 is not a preamp(it's just a great dac)I use to owna Benchmark Dac-1,it is a dac and pre in one,you could connect it direct to an amp.
