| Buzz from the left channel of a Rega Brio Sounds like it is an issue with the Brio. Granted it is a little crowded in the back of the integrated, but you should not be getting a buzz. I have been using a Brio R for almost 3 years now without any buzz, so it is not a design flaw.Rich | |
| Sony CDP XA2ES is good ? The Sony CDP XA1ES was well reviewed by Stereophile. I owned the XA1ES for awhile and while it sounded good, I always had trouble with the disc loading mechanism and just gave up on the player. And yes, I know you asked about the XA2ES.Keep in min... | |

| Difference between Rega and NAD sound I can talk about the house sound of the two having owned a NAD 320BEE and a Rega Brio R if that is of any help. Sound wise I find the Rega a bit fuller and more fleshed out. The Rega sound is very detailed, I can really hear into the music. The... | |
