| Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?) vad58You didn't offend me at all. When you used the word "dull", I thought it was the best possible word to describe my experience. I wish I would have thought of it first. | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? My A21 has a lot going for it, it's just not enough. Too many times it misses the mark and has limited my music listening choices. I also own the Parasound JC 2 BP preamp, and for better or worse, almost certainly will hang on to that. The amp wil... | |
| Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?) From what I have read many times, Focal with McIntosh is a marriage made in heaven. I've had an interest in the MC 302, but new is a little rich for my blood. Used prices I can deal with, there's simply not much to be found used. EBay has listed a... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? The second week in February I'll free up some cash and make my move. If the 4B3 doesn't please me, back to the drawing board. I'll certainly share my personal comparison between the A21 and 4B3. If I can just dig out some of the upper mids and hig... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I'm having a great time with all of these responses and I'm getting FIRSTHAND (no reiteration of press releases) appraisals. That's what I had hoped for. For those of you that have shared what you've experienced in your system with Bryston, shared... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? nekoaudio, It's my understanding that the biggest difference between the two happens at the input stage. The cubed input has dramatic refinements/changes and this is where most of the magic happens with respect to musicality. All of the hybrid amp... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? Thanks Elizabeth. If I buy Bryston, I'd buy new from Audio Advisor and they are authorized. I'm glad that you're happy with your amp. Would you be willing to share what you're using it with, especially your speakers? | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? Thanks terry9. I've gotten tremendous feedback on this thread and another that I started about my Parasound A21. I'm stuck in the mud right now with my decision on which way to go with an amp. I have four strong contenders. Three I'd have to buy u... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I know that the Pass 250.8 would probably musically be the finest of the bunch. It's reputation is that powerful. Again, the heat, size, and the fact I'd have to buy used (probably no returns) are negatives I have to consider. The reason I picked ... | |
| Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?) sweetoldboyI've been down the Yellow Brick Road of power cords and outlets (Cardas grade copper), decent preamp (Parasound JC 2 BP), etc. The most dramatic positive change happened when I went from a Rega tonearm to SME. That was like a lightning ... | |
| Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?) I want to love the A21, I really do. It does a lot so well and then it does something stupid like burying detail that's been experienced with another amp. It's good to know somebody else knows what I'm talking about. I'd hate to think I'm going de... | |
| Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?) Schubert,Sounds like we've both seen and lived a bit more life than most folks would care to talk about. I find that magical amp that I'm looking, I'll fire it up and we can share a song, story, and a cold one. What do you say? | |
| Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?) I think that maybe I've turned this thread into an open forum on rural living. Shubert, I'm old enough now to not get too worked up about what I know will eventually happen. It's my understanding that the songs that angels sing are much better in ... | |
| Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?) mtrot,I live a little farther north and west of Indian River. I live on a heavily wooded parcel and see absolutely no one unless I want to. Five times in the last year, I've had to run off bears. I guess you could call the way I live, "rural". I o... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? hikmer,I've seen pics of the ML 532H, the most revealing were with the lid popped off. Internal heat sinks don't seem like the best idea (glad you brought it up) and it's built on a "one size fits all" chassis. The obvious reason is a cost saving ... |
