I too enjoy my BDP-1/BDA-1 combo and have gotten grea support from Chris. I'm intimidated by the thought of updating to Manic Moose. But based on your comments I might try to corral Chris after the holidays and make the leap. On a related note, a fellow A'goner claimed he heard a nice improvement when he replaced the fuses in his Bryston combo with Synergistic Reds .
