My Bricasti M1 expereince......

I got my Bricasti yesterday as promised by Brian. I let is sit for 24 hours to get to room temperature in order to avoid any condensation issues (it is cold up here!).

I installed it today and made a quick comparison with me PWD MkII with the Upgrade Company Statement mods. The M1 blew the PWD MkII out of the water so easy...

Yes it is double the price but it is worth it. I thought the PWD sounded very good but in comparison it sounded lean with a lot less body and with a defused soundstage. The M1 sounds real and with a very focus soundstage. You can pin point every instrument and voice in its own space. It just sounds a lot more analog and natural.



It is so good that I am going to sell my Wadia 27 and PWD MkII to buy a second unit for my other system.



In addition to the beautiful design and great performance dealing with Brian Zolner was a total pleasure. He was so quick in responding all my questions and a total gentleman.

159 ,

Never post a thread about a unit blowing away another and then telling all you are going to sell the blown out unit. Hurts the sale of the dead unit LOL.

Drubin... That is call Warp Speed :)
No, I got the M1 on December 27th and has been running 24/7 since then.
The first post was done some time ago in a different site and just put it here before the second post.

Antigrunge,
Yes i did all the optimizations. How come the computer should be better since the original source is the same? Thos files were uploaded from the same CD played in the Modified Teac.

Yes, the tracks downloaded from HDTracks are much better sounding that the one upladed from the CDs I have.

Glory,
It a totally different price point and market. The M1 is a $8,500 unit where the PWD MKII currently reatiles for $4,000 (over priced IMO) and is already talked for $2,500 which is the on going price for a mint unit.

The potential buyers are the ones with no DSAC or entry level DACs that don't want to spend $8,500 but ipgrade what they have.
