Well folks I just had my gear delivered.I did open one of the Boxes.I love the look.It's a no frills serious looking amp that's for sure.
I know some people may dig the pretty or fancy type of audio product but I like the brute force/sleek vibe of Bryston.
James......If you do find an old beater to get me through to the SP3 hits the streets I am right here.

Hi 1oldguy,

How many sources do you have?

Hi James

I have the Cd Player,And the pioneer blue ray player (09FD),Which by the way has the option of either HDMI or RCA outputs for analog 5.1.I would be pleased as punch even if I could listen to 2 channel audio at this point,of course till the masterpiece SP3 comes out.

If you are looking for a cheap (ish) stopgap unit.......

I currently use a "Logitech Transporter"

This is a DAC with volume control, and plays PC based music, online radio and inputs for AES/EBU, optical, coaxial,

Outputs are balanced or unbalanced

For me this seems to tick a large number of boxes and I do feel reasonable to good quality. I have a spare Lexicon MC12B v5 with room EQ and there is a chance that this will go into the 2ch room - Originally I was thinking of selling it but prices have dropped in non HDMI kit.

Currently I dont have a CD player.

Due to my background I feel room EQ a very important item to have, more and more domestic equipment is now available with this built in.

Food for thought......

But the SP3 does sound like the baby to own.

Andy.

You will need a set of interconnect cables to go from the Preamp to the Power amp - Can be RCA or Balanced.

HI Andy

There best is yet to come.(Bryan Adams)LOL

I just need to clear some of the rubble behind me.I'm still getting the place straightened out.
Please remind me not to move like ever.LOL

Mad Mr H · « **Reply #94 on:** 28 Jul 2009, 07:45 am »

Remember in a move you need twice as much space as you had in the last place.

They take all you had and put in a box, then when you unpack you need space for the box AND contents.........

Unpacking my five PMC MB2's was crazy - even flat packed the boxes are massive.........

HI Andy

We went from a 3 story 3 bedroom with basement to 1 floor 2 bedroom.The only saving grace is the living room is fairly large considering it's a basement.Plus the gear isn't unpacked yet and your right keeping the boxes does take up quite a bit a space.

Did you get the BP25?

1oldguy · « **Reply #99 on:** 29 Jul 2009, 06:05 pm »

It's not here yet but i would imagine it to show up anytime now.I would love for it to show up on friday.Would give me the whole weekend.I have a feeling I won't be doing much else besides listening to music if it gets here by then.
