| Need passive aggressive advice I have a TRUTH,very detailed and musical.As mentioned it is not passive,but a buffered pre amp.Definitely worth an audition and Ed is great to deal with. | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? Having owned multiple models of Bryston amps over the years and more recently a 4B3 I can say this is a wonderful amp and clearly a more evolved design than its' predecessors.That said,pairing with a quality tube pre amp is essential in providing ... | |
