Yesterday I pulled the trigger, selling 5 Cyrus boxes ( 2 x X300 Sig, DACXP Sig, CDXt & PSX-R), leaving me with a Phono Sig + PSX-R2, & StreamX Sig. So what am I replacing those with?
I have now ordered a Bryston BP17-3 & 4B3, both in the better sounding black.
For DAC duties I’ve also ordered a Chord Qutest.
Am I excited, oh heck Yes.:D:

Really enjoying my Qutest right now. Never having owned a Chord DAC before this one has been a pleasant surprise.

And dare I say it...? Sounds better than my Oppo 205.

Tish and pish.....
It's been scientifically proven somewhere, silver kit sounds better.

No it doesn't. All my gear is black! :)

Yes, but only on a Tuesday.

I would like a picture of a graphic equaliser printed on the front of my amp like they used to have on Amstrad stuff - I reckon that would be a real upgrade.

Nice one Clive,

Knowing you, you've not made the move without homework and good consideration.

Bet it's gonna all sound rather nice.

Looking forward to your findings, evaluation, review at some point, once you've had some time with it :)

Serious kit that Bryston. Loads of power too.

Well the new kit is now installed and I have been burning it all in for the last 48 hrs. It’s already showing it’s potential with only a hint of splash to the top registers. The bass even out of the box sank to depths I’ve never heard in my lounge. I reckon that by Sunday night it will be ready for some very serious listening.
