Good morning!

I live in the USA and have just purchased my fourth Beresford dac. The latest, the Bushmaster MKII, is still in its infant stages as I am channeling music and sound through the unit.

I discovered Beresford when I first attempted to purchase a dac for my system. After reading many advertisements and treads, like this forum, I went to the Beresford website and discovered the affordability of the units. After purchasing three 7520's, including two Caiman first generations, I was given a Cambridge DacMagic. I liked the Cambridge's warm sound but was not completely pleased with the lack of detail--like those of the Beresford's; so I sold it and emailed Mr. Beresford for his latest model.

I am using the Bushmaster as my sound dac for my recording studio. I auditioned many, including Rega, Musical Fidelity and others. I have to admit that the Bushmaster is not only equal to the more expensive units but is in many ways cleaner and more detailed in the replication of music--which is so important during mix-down and editing.

I applaud small entrepreneurs who are capable of producing wonderful products at a reasonable cost.

Paraphrasing my father: "Get the best result from that which you can afford; why spend the extra dollars to 'squeeze blood' from a turnip!"

Thank you for allowing me to join; I have always wanted to but were too lazy until being prompted by Mr. Beresford.

I will post again soon.

Ian

Thank you! Hendrix did play: I saw him at one of the festivals years ago, obviously. Will be watching all the posts.

Hello Ian/James (confusing) and welcome to AoS. That's a nice story about the Beresford DACs. My old Caiman is doing sterling service on this here PC and my BM2 sounds marvellous on the big system.

I looked up Beloit just to see where you are. Not far from Lake Michigan, would seem to be the answer. I guess the closest to you I've been would be Chicago. Fantastic this here internet in the ways it brings disparate people together. So browse away and go join the Beresford Banter forum pronto!

Greetings! I try to go into Chicago whenever I can: great orchestra and good jazz. Glad to know another who enjoys good sound and music. I'll be more active as the term begins to wind down.

Cheers to you!

Wow! Some system. I'll write again soon and ask questions. I, too, have a Linn LP 12, no upgrades, just from 1983!

Talk with you soon. And, thanks!

Ian
