@audiotroy This is one of the most common problems with Audiogon threads. The OP asks a question that is framed in such a way that it has particular relevance to himself. Along come the other posters and all too often the response is: (a) instead of components A and B, you should junk those two and really consider component C, or, worse (b) you've conceptualized the issue wrongly and should really be attacking it from this completely different perspective.
@audiotroy I don't own a cell phone, and I use DSL for internet. I do have 1000+ CDs. How constructive is your post to the current discussion???
Thank you to @gpgr4blu @milpai @skoczylas et al.
Getting back to my original question, I don't suppose that there are many dealers in the US who carry both Hegel and Bryston, and I certainly don't suppose that I'll be lucky enough to walk through their doors, if one does exist, and find that they have the Mohican and the BCD-3 both on demo. Hence the thread posing the question to the A'gon community. As a more-than-contented owner of the BCD-1, I've been eyeing the '3 for a while, and as @skoczylas points out, warranty and long-term support weigh heavily in my deliberations. Now the Mohican has come along with what would seem to be many similar design goals as the '3, and as all audiophiles would, I started wondering how different, if at all, the two would sound.
