Our German Friends Love Bryston’s New Amp
Hardly any other amplifier can look back to such a long product history as the Bryston 4B amplifier, which was introduced in 1976. Let’s repeat it again, yes in 1976! Only its little sister the Bryston 3B, which has been available even longer, and the likewise legendary Naim NAP 250 can look back at a similarly long family tree…
Bryston Mini A: Refined Mini Monitor
These speakers have excellent imaging and the sound stage is both wide and deep.The bass is very detailed with no boomy sound. They seem to be very tolerant to speaker location not having a major impact on sound quality…
Bryston DAC Brings Back Digital Music
A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a used Bryston DAC to pair with my new Merdian Media Core 200 and my well used Sugden Masterclass IA4 amp with Harbeth Monitor 30 speakers – yes, I live in England, a stone’s throw away from where the Beatles came from.

All they see is the one cherry picked piece that lands at their door step. Or, with more influential mags like Stereophile and TAS, the gear is hand…
Dave’s Faves – Magnepan MG – .7
Magnepan MG – .7 $2000 pr. (54.25h, 15.25w. 1.25d) Magnepans have been among my favorite speakers forever. Given proper placement and amplification, they’re impossible to beat at what they do. Specifically, they provide a large and spacious image that is more like the real deal than practically all cabinet speakers. You just have to pay attention to placement and have enough amplifier…
