| Speakers for Bryston What model are you referring to? The "lifted on top" criticism was common for older lines, I understand, pre-SST2. I've actually never heard any of the earlier ones. The current 28B-SST2 is remarkably balanced across the audio band, perhaps even a... | |
| Speakers for Bryston All I can say is that your experience with PMC and large Brystons bears no resemblance to mine. None at all. Not even in the same universe. | |
| Speakers for Bryston PMC is expensive but value is in the ear of the beholder. I bought IB2i a few months ago and think I received excellent value. With 28B-SST2 amps they sound absolutely gob-smack wonderful, and both brands come with transferable 20-year warranties.... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? When I bought an Oppo BDP-95 two months ago for my main system I had low expectations, not least because I listen to vinyl 95% of the time in this system and my vinyl rig is good and pricey and carefully set up. But I figured, one box for redbook,... | |
| 9-in arm for SPUs with easy VTA ? Phil, how is the stock internal wiring on these arms? Also, the specs say max VTF of 3g. I notice, in your primary system, that you run the 12-in. version with a Meister Silver, which has a recommended VTF of 4g. It handles that SPU OK? | |
| 9-in arm for SPUs with easy VTA ? Interesting rec! Thanks, Phil. | |
| 9-in arm for SPUs with easy VTA ? Never mind about the phono cable question. I figured it out--DIN connector at the base. | |
| 9-in arm for SPUs with easy VTA ? Dertonarm, that's good info. Thank you. Is the original wiring good enough in these arms or is it something I should expect to have upgraded? Also, do the internal leads go all the way from the cartridge clips to phono stage inputs, perhaps via RC... | |
| 9-in arm for SPUs with easy VTA ? Also, are some versions better than others? Anything in particular I should look out for when searching for one? | |
| 9-in arm for SPUs with easy VTA ? Thanks for the responses. The trick is finding one! You guys have any secret sources? :) | |
| Speakers for Bryston PMC mates very well with Bryston. | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? For many years I was completely a purist, which meant definitely no remote. Now I can't do without one in my main system, mostly because it doubles as a 2-channel quasi-home theater. In fact, I've slid all the way down the slippery slope and deman... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3 I, too, am interested in answers to the OP. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment The Baerwald alignment using the UNI-Pro sounded better on the Graham than the Wally and better on the Universal than the MintLP. It also sounded better than the UNI-IEC alignment. At some point, I'll go back and realign again using all and rechec... | |
| Must Hear Speakers in $10K range They're not easy to audition and don't come up very often used, but PMC IB2i are exceptionally good. Worth looking into. |
