Well I spent most of Monday cleaning my desk with Murphy's oil soup and I am very happy with the results as the desk simply glows and I now have a new found appreciation for mahogany.

Be well...

Lucky you Laundrew, enjoy it for the next hundred years, at least.
Superb craftsmanship. They don't make them any longer like that.

Hello Haemus

Thank you for the compliment. If I can "last" another 40 years or so, I would be very happy

Be well...

Lady Laundrew decided that it was high time to walk away from her dreaded PT Cruiser. As Lady Laundrew is not a selfish individual, she was most magnanimous by seeing that Laundrew also received a "new ride." Photo of Laundrew's "new ride" to follow upon key presentation.

Be well...

Had my turntable in for servicing and the next thing I knew I had it attached to the tonearm. Much rejoicing occurred when I brought it home and gave it a listen with my setup... it's a keeper.

I read some good things about this toy! Congrats!
(weird how sometimes things like this find their way onto ones tone arm...)

This is my new beuty. Sounds brilliant, but hopefully will improve even more. Have to save up money for BDP now.

Very nice. Are those blue lights special order?

redbook · « **Reply #1075 on:** 3 May 2012, 09:20 pm »

Let us know how it sounds. This amp is still on my wish list (hopefully) ,

. meanwhile congrats. Oh , has Bryston gone to blue lights?:

tomsenko · « **Reply #1076 on:** 4 May 2012, 06:12 am »

As I understand, it is now a free option to choose between blue/green lights. Had to choose blue to match my Benchmark DAC1 (used also as preamp) which also has very bright blue light.

As for the sound. Everything just seems right tonally. I used Marantz PM7200 before and used to have harsh highs, voice did not sound proper. Now I can just forget the equipment and enjoy the music. I was also testing Exposure 3010, but the bass was totally out of control, even compered to Marantz.

Congratulations, we all know that the blue LEDs sound better

Stick with it, I now have SP3/BDP/BDA/4BSST2 all with matching blue and they look fantastic

Cheers

Just bought these Genesis 2's recently. Hope to have them home in a few weeks. Have to sell 2 7BST amps and the RS1A speakers. Gotta make room.
