Vipers,

If you are where I think you are, then I'll have to pop in and see you.
I've been meaning to go and take a look round, the store is actually my closest Bryston dealership

Hi Kyri,

Excellent, feel free to pop in anytime, I'm starting at the beginning of June, we'll have to do a Bryston, Naim, Linn, Sooloos shootout 

The manager is a massive Naim man and reckons I'm only into Bryston as I haven't discovered Naim yet so I'd love to get loads of fellow Bryston guys in to show him that Bryston rules the roost, not Naim

[alexone]

hey, Vipers...

this shootout must be fun! enjoy and tell us who was the winner

al.

[saveloy]

Vipers,

I have 3 weeks holiday in June. So I will pop down then. 
I'll try not to get too excited when walking through the white goods department!

I do like Naim products. At the end of the day they are lovely sounding products. But I've never been sold on it, or the way they do things.
When I last visited a Bryston dealer in town, the Naim DAC was sitting beside the BDA-1. The nice chap said as good as the Naim is, the Bryston was the best reason not to buy something from dcs(sitting onanother shelf) - at 5 times the price!

Hi James.

The BDP-1 player is the best bit of kit I have owned in over 20 years, No more CD players for me.

If possible could I have a copy of the PDF that describes how to use GNOME as a way to get streamed radio stations from all over the world to play on the BDP-1.

Regards
Albert

Excellent, see you then Kyri 
Luckily the white goods are tucked away round the back of the shop so hopefully the only temptation for you will be the Bryston kit

Sounds like a plan, I'll have a word with the manager and see what I can organise, be good to do a whole day playing, I mean listening and comparing different manufacturers solutions to the whole streaming / HDD playback conundrum.

I'm sure it won't be a problem, I'll post a date in a couple of weeks

Can I get an invite when you do, please 

It would be good to know when they may get a demo SP3, so we could throw that in the mix

[saveloy]

Vipers,

I've been scouring through the Bryston Owners thread this evening, over on AV forums.  I've been meaning to, since you mentioned it quite a while ago.
I got to Page 50 and there you were, quoting from this forum. 
My BDP-1 initial review, no less! 

Clearly it caught me unawares.  I am presently trying to ascertain whether beer has a damaging effect on a plasma screen.  And cotton, leather and my friend's face.

Certainly Mr Alpha, all will be welcome

You can guarantee that I'll be pushing to get the SP3 in as soon as they are available, along with the HDD enclosure and headphone amp

That has to be one of my favourite audio reviews of all time, still makes me smile

As long as you didn't spill beer on your BDP-1, I'd be a bit worried that you may start licking it off, and enjoying it a little too much, after the amount of love you showed towards it in your review

[saveloy]

Vipers,

I'm very glad you liked it.  On a more somber note, my internship at The English Literary Guild has been refused. 
So my excitable, yet un-amplified views are presently limited to interweb forums and twitter!

I have been known to throw admiring glances at it & even wink at it before bed time.  However, I have never to my knowledge touched it inappropriately!

Kyri.

Hi James

I recently purchased the BDP-1, serial # 265 from Commercial Electronics – you can thank Dennis Parsonson for the sale; he kept insisting I give the BDP-1 a shot.

So far, I’m very impressed – I’ve connected it to the BDA-1 via AES/EBU and I am hearing new things even from ripped CD’s (using EAC).

Thanks and regards
Andrew

Thanks Steve. Hadn't heard of it before.

Can you convert FLAC to WAV using dBpower amp?

Yup, it converts anything to anything
