[...] Thomas is the owner of Sovereign. He collects Ferraris.

[...] A stereo set is almost 100.000 euros.

No wonder he can afford to collect Ferraris.

Nap. :lol:

"on the way to the curb" was just an expression and in no way was a reflection on these great amps :wink:

Having owned a variety of Bryston products since the 80's I acknowledge that these are the ultimate Bryston amps that have garnished numerous wonderful reviews and while I am sure they will find a good home it won't be at my house - I will just have to live with the most current version 7B-SST2 amps...

@ James, larevoj and Robert, Thanks.  :)

And, I'm afraid the distortion of the ultra-wide angle lens may be fooling you all. The speakers are B&W 805 Matrix's and the stands are the Sound Anchor's specifically made for the 805's. Living in a Japanese flat, where the dimensions are fairly narrow, the only way I could shoot this set up was with this lens. ;)

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday (here it's already a rainy Monday morning in the Tokyo area).

Peter





Which Bryston amp do you have?

Bryston and TAD... I guess it is an amazing combination...

I heard the TADs @ CES. They are absolutely awesome speakers. I heard them with TAD electronics, however. I'd love to hear this combo in your photo. I don't think it can get better than that!

Hello everyone,

This is my first post. I live in Japan, and teach English at university here. I'm originally from Montreal, tho.   :)

Here are a few photos of some of my nice things. (BTW, James, thanks so much for your help with the amp situation. Will be mailing you directly beginning of next week.)

FYI, the TV is a Sharp Aquos Quattron 46 inch. I also have an airport express feeding the BDA-1 with the tons of lossless music files that are on my Mac Pro (located under my desk in the adjoining room). It's very convenient, but not surprisingly, CD's played on the universal player which is connected to the BDA-1 with a Black Cat Veloce BNC cable, sound significantly better.

Thanks,

Peter H. Budden

P.S. All photos taken with Nikon D300 and Tokina 11-16mm F2.8.









Heard from Peter in Japan - he is OK but thought his experience gives us all thoughts to ponder.

I emailed Peter and asked if he was OK

His response:

"Hi James,

I'm OK, thanks. Bryston amps and BDA-1 are OK too!  ;-)  CD's and books are all over the floor. Tsunami did not come this far inland, thankfully.

Hell, this was the real deal. Been through a lot of them here but this one just kept going and getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER.. I ran outside to the parking lot across the street. Thought the world was going to end! Telephone poles and lines swaying back and forth. Ground was like liquid.

Oh! Another aftershock right now as I type. Been a lot since the big one this afternoon.

I'm kind of lucky that I was home today. Tokyo's a city of 30 million. All the trains are stopped. People are walking home, like a lot of them will be walking five or six hours.

Telephone lines cell and land lines are down but internet, Facebook and Twitter keep on ticking!

Hope things are calmer where you are."

Peter

Yes currently they are - we are looking at using some surface mount components going forward.

james

James,

are the B100 boards surface mounted in the meantime?

No - the B100 uses hole-through.

As to the claim of the "tallest" monoblock what about the Pivetta Opera @ 6':

Good to hear Peter's OK.  There are too many who aren't as fortunate.  Hopefully the worst is behind them.
