| Power cords and/or conditioners for Belles amp? Juan, many thanks. It's interesting that you find the Belles dark. What speakers were you using, and did you use digital or vinyl at the source? I ask b/c I don't find it dark in the least. But of course, an amp is just one piece in an ensemble. I... | |
| Power cords and/or conditioners for Belles amp? Thanks for the first two replies. Davt, the Shunyata information does suggest that a 20 amp unit is what I need. The RS Haley is a 15 amp unit. BB, I'll search on line for older reviews. I've read most, but maybe I missed the S-Phile review. Georg... | |
| Review: Bryston 4B-ST Amplifier I'm late to these reflections. Some thoughts in return. Of course the warranty is sonically irrelevant. For those buying used, however, it is a factor when considering which amp to buy. Is the amplifier "bright and piercing" in the lower treble? N... | |

| Review: Magnepan MG-IIIa Speaker I too have the IIIA's and bought them for a steal given what they offer. I've thought about replacing them (AudioPhysic, B&W), but for thousands more than the $900 I paid, I didn't think I was even facing an upgrade. As Alexander notes, they d... | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity A3CR Preamplifier I've paired the MF A3cr Pre with a Bryston 4bst to drive maggie IIIA's and it works wonders. The sound stage is deep and broad, and the highs are detailed but warm. After a 2,500 mile move, I left my LP's in Nashville, so I don't use the phono opt... | |
| Power cords I doubted. I tried with the option to return. I was convinced. I added another with the option to return. I was convinced. It is certainly worth a test drive. |
