I had a superb integrated some years ago, made in China. The brand name was Dussun. They made a lot of Mark Levinson stuff. There was nothing that amp couldn't do well.
The Forgotten
Every time I come across a gem in this hobby I inevitably come to the conclusion that there must be a ton of wonderful gear out there that has either slipped through the cracks or been forgotten. I decided to start a thread hoping some of you would spill the beans.
I’ll start, but I don’t have a tone of experience. Totem, I believe to be very underrated. I find they truly have a magic to them. I’d throw out Harbeth but they surely aren’t forgotten. Audio Mirror is one I’m pretty fascinated with based on my Tubadour I recently acquired a Lab12 Integre4 that I think is better than anything I’ve had. For example McIntosh, Bryston, Audio Research, Primaluna and a bunch of mid-fi. Anyways, I think my experience is lacking but that’s what I’ve got.

+1 @tomic601 Bozak Concert Grands OMG not my first but very close to first speaker I had an extreme lust for. A co-worker had a pair powered by all McIntosh tube gear. This is pre 1980. They had an upgrade path where you purchase the cabinets and add drivers as you had more dollars. Four 12" woofs...don't remember the rest. Regards, barts |
@charles1dad BPT morphed into Core Power, which is now distributed by Underwood Wally. |
@paullb Where did you get this info? Core Power has been in business for some years. Mark Shifter was one of the original principals, also served in this capacity with Perpetual Technologies.This when BPT still in business. Perp Tech went out of business, involved in serious shenanigans, seems Core Power sold out to Walter.
I understand the technology is pretty much same, not sure they're using same transformers as BPT 3.5 Signatures use Plitron transformers, unit weight 80lbs. Equi=Core 1800 weighs 54lbs. Points to substantial differences in transformers. |
