| Preamps: Rogue v. VTL v. Blue Circle I've owned a Rogue 66, a 66 Magnum and then jumped right up to the Magnum 99. The 66 is a great value if you are looking at a tube preamp in and around the $750 pricepoint but the Magnum 99 is an all together different animal and used its within y... | |
| Which DAC? One that you should add is the Scott Nixon tube dac. Not expensive at all and might be just what you are looking for. | |
| What tube preamp with Bryston 7bst? Please? Magnum 99 linestage with my Bryston amp - great match! Caveat is that I have not experimented with other tube preamps but why screw with something that works??? | |
| Tyler Taylo Reference Monitor Filter Switch The toggle switch reduces the midrange a little and I used it on the very rare occasion when I was playing music a little louder than I would normally. I found the tweeter a little hot at higher Dbs which is not the case with the Linbrooks I now h... | |
| Using a Japanese CD player in Canada? You'll need to use a transformer that will allow the 100v to run at 110v. | |
| Cary SLP98 vs. Rogue 99 Magnum Like Rbirke I can't comment on the Cary but my older Rogue 66 Magnum worked very well with my 4B-ST and subsequently my Magnum 99 married very well when I owned a 4B-SST. The 99 is a serious leap forwards over the 66 and the magnum version is wort... | |

| Transport Recommendations Please. Rich - talk to Steve over at Empirical Audio. He is reported to be doing wonders with modding Sony DVP-S7700 units and I think that a used unit bought here and adding in his mods should be somewhere near your budget target. | |
| Bryston owners: What speakers are you using? Current speakers are Tyler Linbrook monitors and having recently sold my 4B-SST, I will be picking up my 14B-SST tonight. Whooo-hooo!!! | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS Sorry to hijack the thread but I recently heard a re-tooled by John Wright BiDat using a hotrodded 333ES as a transport compared to a Channel Islands DAC with upgraded power supply. A caveat being that the BiDat was very fresh with less than 20 ho... | |
| bryston ST and NRB question Vettemanbc - for the record a ST version cannot be upgraded to the SST version. Too many changes according to James Tanner. | |
| Electrical Question As far as I know the only way you are 100% sure that you will be OK is pulling all plugs from the wall. As Sugar has advised look into getting the main box protected as an all encompassing solution. | |
| SACD Player Mods vs. Outboard D/A converter? Geez me too, somewhat...I just took delivery of a used 555ES that I can't play until my new amp comes in a few weeks and I'm glad I didn't release my CI Dac yet anticipating that the stock 555ES redbook may be something like my original 333ES was ... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Taylo 7U vs. Linbrook Sig. Monitor If memory serves me right Ty voices his speakers with high powered solid state amps (not that tubes wouldn't work nicely). I just sold my Bryston 4B-SST in favor of a 14B-SST that should arrive in a few weeks and I anticpate a little better low en... |
