| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? Shakeydeal: My experience is that Bryston neither adds to takes away from source it is being fed. Use a rich sounding DAC like my Metrum Hex and it sounds rich (fantastic really). Feed it with an analytical DAC like my Benchmark DAC2 and it sounds... | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? Almarg, thank you for your detailed response. Very interesting! Swapping the Arcam for my Bryston gear should be very interesting:))) | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? AudioConnectio: There was also a pair of Titan One speakers in the room | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? When I auditioned the Bryston Mini T speakers driven by Bryston electronics they sounded fantastic. The Stereofile reviewer said he liked these even more than the Bryston speakers he compared them to. To me, the Bryston speakers sounded a little h... | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? Thank you for your responses! I agree with the statements made so far. My first thought when listening to the speakers was that that electronics was the issue. When I left we agreed that I needed to bring down my system to drive these speakers. I'... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4B SST2 I think the Benchmark could sound lean with some sources, especially many digital sources. I think a better word for it is transparent. If your source is lean your sound will be as well. Even though the benchmark is extremely transparent, it does ... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4B SST2 ZD542 - I meant "I" did some reading, not you!! :))) Anyway, thank you all for your answers. Isn't the BP6 based on the preamp in the B60 SST - which is the same as the pre in the B100 SST? As I stated in my initial post, the B100 pre does not mat... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4B SST2 Thank you for your responses. ZD542 - Did some reading on the Arye...would love to audition one.TheDuke - I believe you may be correct... I am NOT looking for laid back...I want highly resolving detail which is I'm sure what the BP26 is all about.... | |
| Best Preamp = No Preamp? I tried going directly from my Metrum Octave II DAC to my Bryston 4B SST2 and the sound was too edgy for me. I also tried a passive pre but with the same results. Also, I could not get the volume I needed for some songs. The Benchmark DAC 2 pre is... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston First of all, no speaker wire or other magical component I'd going to give my current system the resolution of the Bryston amp...not even close. I'm not saying that speaker wire will make no difference at all, which is why I always use a nice (low... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Bob, Thank you for your response. In theory you might be right about the three way and in effect that's exactly what I have with a two way and a sub. Even some of the smaller dyns produce fantastic bass in just a two way design. Truth is I really ... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Elizabeth,I just saw your reply after I posted my previous response. Thank you! I'm not going to throw anything away until I've got something better, believe me! Right now I have musical nirvana and only if these new components increase my love of... | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Xti16,Thank you for your reply:)I read about Raido speakers on another post by you but when I saw the price I just about had a heart attach. I just picked up a Yamaha 2014 FJR1300es for the same price as their entry model ha ha. I am very much in ... | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch I got the Audio DG Digital Interface just for kicks and it made absolutely no difference to the sound over the Octave itself, at least to my ears. The manufacturer was correct, don't waist your money. My Digital Interface is going on the ebay. Bye... | |
| Metrum Octave First Impressions AudioJedi, The metrum stays on all the time so it will be interesting to see if the sound changes with time. The first CD player I tried in 1983 was $700 and sounded very synthetic, especially the symbols. I keep it for 3 days any returned it for ... |
