Only for owners of ARC SP 16
swklienMany thanks.I reckon that I will stick to the ARC chord for a while.Don't want to upgrade everything at one go...might lead to the ultimate audiophile nightmare...everything's perfect and might die of boredom.Cheers.Sunnyboy 
What tube preamp with Bryston 7bst? Please?
Am using a used(ancient?)ARC LS 2B with a Bryston 14 BST with great results.Was never satisfied with the Bryston BP25 preamp.Somehow it never jelled with my listening tastes.I have experience of ARC and CJ and recommend them without hesitation.You... 
Buggtussel Cingulates or B&W 805's or Proac?
If you listen mostly to Hindi music,the speakers won't really matter since most of the early stuff is badly recorded.I have owned/possessed 4 different pairs of B&Ws from 302s,602s,603s to CDM 9NTs.Hence my vote this and everytime is B&W.Njoy

Wow just stumbled on this rich spiritual thread...my personal fav is Strathisla(owned by Chivas)with a few chunks of ice and a dash of...you drink to enjoy and not to conform.Bliss with Cohen and occasionally Beethoven's 9th. Njoy 
Bryston owners: What speakers are you using?
B&W 9NTs hooked to a Bryston 14 BST.Wife and budget permitting the 9NTs will make way for B&W 802Ns. 
Best Amp for B&W CDM9NT ? Seperates better
Totally agree with Audiobugged.Ran a pair of CDM 9 NTs with a Bryston 4BST for a year with heavenly results.Recently the 4BST was replaced with a 14 BST and I have't stopped smiling.Have no experience with Classe.B&W works superbly with Brysto...

5 songs culled from 35 years of listening is not difficult but downright impossible...anyway,here goes:1.Dylan - Ramona2.Neil Young - Weekend(have't discovered a better piece of music to check bass response.Opening track on Harvest).3.Don Mclean -... 
Cowboy Junkies
I guess I am pretty late catching up with this thread but my copy of Trinity Sessions only arrived a few days back.This was my first exposure to the Junkies having heard great things on this site.Like most naive audiophiles,I am a sucker for thing... 
Should I Biamp
I had an ARCAM A22 integrated and ARCAM P25 power amp hooked intially to B&W 603 S2 and later to B&W CDM 9NT.It was always the integrated for HF and the power amp for LF.It sounded pretty awful the other way around.Eventually got rid of th... 
Views/experience of mating Conrad Johnson PV 14L w
Thanks Czbbcl.I should point out that I have a Bryston 14 BST which is here to stay.Its currently mated with an ARC LS2B.The LS 2B is a superb preamp(I've paid less than $ 300 net)but I miss the remote.I am in love with the tube ss combination.Amo... 
Experiences with Audio Research LS-2B
Wow !! This hobby(addiction?) sure is fun with such strong divergent views on the same equipment.While I am new to tubes,the LS 2B is my first foray into the tube world,I strongly endorse Jax2 that the LS 2B is outstanding value for money.Incident... 
What speaker for Bryston 14B-SST?
Currently running a pair of B&W 9 NTs hooked to a 14 BST(according to James Tanner at Bryston the 14 BST is identical to the 14 BSST,except for the facia handle design)with outstanding results.Guess you could call it an overkill.The bass defin...
