boyfriend is getting on my way

What do your ears tell you? Not all people hear alike. What sounds better to him may not be any better to you. Feel free to tell b/f that you do not hear an improvement worthy of giving up a great warranty for if that is the case. And when comparing amps be sure both are broken in and warmed up. Try to equalize sound levels. Use the same recordings. Realize that different is not necessarily better. Try to verbalize the differences and ask if it is an important difference. Personally I prefer and own the Bryston for use in my system.

I generally (not always) find woman and men have different taste in what is good sound, so stick with what you like and trust your own ears.

Roxbury I think you and your boyfriend should borrow
a DNA 2 and listen, see if there is an improvement,
DO THIS DURING THE WEEKEND,,BUY PIZZA OR ANY FOOD
YOU LIKE. SINCE ITS HIS RECOMMENDATION, TELL HIM TO
BUY THE SNACK AND PAY. NEXT TIME HE WILL THINK TWICE.
MY ONLY 0.2 CENTS GUEST THE DNA WILL BE BRIGHTER
SOUNDING WITH YOUR SPEAKER,AGAIN I MAY BE WRONG.

to all of you goodlooking awesome handsome audiogoner's who give their unconditional advice to my question...A WARM KISS AND HUG!!!!!!! THANK YOU ALL.....
