Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice
Jmcgrogan2Thanks for the response and in that review and all the others they totally gush over these speakers and say the bass is amazing in these speakers. They actually get a lot of accolades for their deep, controlled, tuneful and musical bass ...

Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Ricred1So many great comments and suggestions here. Thanks to all I look forward to responding to each of them when I have a little more time but for now I have to at least tell Ricred1 that you are very welcome and I am glad my comments in any sm... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Sabai The M1 is so good i'm looking to really get all I can out of it. I feel in my system there is so much more there and I am looking to go after it. I am fixing to upgrade its supporting cast in my system to leverage its strengths. That is alwa... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Sabai when going there I would pass em all up and go demo/lightly used Trinity DAC. For an ultra uber DAC like that I would need to sell my Vet which i'm not willing to do :). I love audio but only so much! There is a regular life to live as well... 
Bricasti M1 USB
WorldcatWouldn't spend that kind of money on a Berkeley product. Rather grab a demo/used Trinity DAC if we going up there. Combo Berkeley / Bricast dealers at that price better be saying the Berkeley is better. How could they ever carry both lines... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Ricred1,I loved my DSD and am on record as describing it as a great DAC not just a very good one. I think it is the very best in its price range and better than many more expensive ones. I really enjoyed my DSD and think very highly of it. That sa... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
It needs a lot more time to break in. I think min a buck and a half or couple hundred. Run its 24/7 for a week. Turn amps of but run everything else and keep the music flowing so when you turn on amps music starts playing without doing anything el... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Hey Steve from Empirical Audio. I saw in your awesome room you had Clayton Audio M300 monoblocks at the Newport show last year. Great system and I am thinking about moving from CJ Premier 12 mono block tubes to those monster class a amps. Wanted t...

Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I have heard Berkeley DACs a bunch of times but not their new Reference DAC but I bet it sounds amazing. Pretty expensive though I think... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Hi Spencer, Not sure I can highjack my own thread but I get your point. I threw it out there on here because I listed my entire system earlier and have spoke about my amps as well and a bunch of the guys/gals that have provided input to this threa... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
There is a pair of Lamm 2.1 Hybrids that are mostly SS with one 6922 in each mono block. Any of you guys familiar with these? Was just wondering if a tube lover would like these amps and thought to reach out to you guys. Thanks 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I can say in my current system my pre does add weight and body which I like and prefer but there are trade offs. Like most things in audio there is always a what goes up must come down thing but this is Bricasti with a pre vs Bricasti w/o pre with... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Ricred1How are you? I like the Bricasti M1 Direct to the amps so much that I am making a deal to trade my amps and my pre which I really like for better amps to drive direct. I am headed down non pre lane. I think with my current amps and pre I wo...
