| Mohican vs BCD-3 You'll find quite a number of very happy BCD-3 owners over on AudioCircle. There are several threads dedicated to it. James Tanner argues that mating the specific drive/output to the specific DAC has benefits over separate boxes. Perhaps the Mo... | |
| Classical fans, I need advice Easing into Mahler.I recommend starting with #1. If not that, #4. Or 1 and 4 more or less concurrently.If you like emotional, late-Romantic music, move on to the slow movements in ## 5, 6 and 9.After that, I'd say it's time to tackle #2.Now you'... | |
| KT150's in Rogue Cronus Magnum ii So far only Genalex Gold Lion 12au7's and 12ax7's, much recommended by Jim McShane. I'm going to get a NOS 12au7 for the pre-amp position, but have been dithering over which brand to go with (Mullard, Brimar, Amperex) and which supplier (McShane,... | |
| KT150's in Rogue Cronus Magnum ii This is rather OT, but I recently dropped in some Genalex Gold Lion KT88s, and when I get round to it I'll be going back to the Tung-Sol KT120s. Not a night a day difference, to my ears. 88s perhaps a little more liquid/forgiving, but lost some ... | |
| Classical fans, I need advice Another vote for violinist Rachel Podger in any Baroque repertoire. Several CDs out there. For Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante still remain the most thrilling and exhilarating.For the rest the world is your oyster. ... | |
| Another superb CD Player/DAC; Lyngdorf CD1 Would be interesting to compare this with the new Bryston BCD-3 @ $3500. | |
| Please help speakers Go with the Spendors. | |
| CD players = dead? Bryston's new BCD-3 will change some people's minds. See the reviews that are just starting to trickle out... | |
| $10K-15K short list? With a question like this, you'll get 15 different viewpoints from every ten respondents, but FWIW my pitch is for Vienna Acoustics Liszt. Breathtaking (at Gifted Listener, nr Wash DC). | |
| What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps? So where does Rogue--particularly the RP-5--fall in all this? | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? For the same dollar amount, you can buy a set of single wires and some short jumpers made from the same wire, or a double set of wires one or two steps lower down the product line of a given manufacturer. So unless there's something very special ... | |
| PMC Fact 3 with hegel h160 or accuphase 350 I don't know what other brands you have access to. There are several other solid-state integrated's that are a little more "forgiving" than the Hegel, Luxman, Ayre, even Simaudio (in my experience). PMC's Fact series is also less forgiving than ... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 impressions? I am, too, though now eyeing the BCD-3. | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? ...or mimesis. | |
| Last CD player? Has the new Bryston BCD-3 reached the UK yet? I think you might find it a very synergistic match with your other equipment and, on its own terms, all the CD-player and more that you would ever want. The first reviews and responses are very posit... |
