Power Cord with great tone
Mapman, in my observation, power cords especially on source has the highest impact on every aspect of sound compared to any other cables in the chain. I am not talking about entry level sources like the NAD, CA, Marantz stuff here. They do not car...

With Brystons you should audition relatively warmer sounding speakers like Blumenhofer, JMR, Focus Audio, Odyssey Lorelei, Spendor, Proac and the likes.I have some experience with the Dyns and while they sound controlled and smooth with Brystons b...
