Hi Grant - it's the little Brio-R. :)Quote:

How does it sound? I've been at work all day until about 9 this evening and left the Sony switched on since this morning's brief music listening session. That way it would be performing at its best when I got home. Put some GRP All-Stars Big Band on (CD) and sat down for 15 mins when I got home. Sounds as great as ever.
Un-boxed the Brio-R, plugged it in, let it settle for 10 mins and you know what? The similarity to the big Sony is almost uncanny. It's quite smooth, has little dampening of musical flow and plays with a big heart. Not short on driving power too, the 2010i's do thrive on an amp which can grab hold of them - the Sony does score here, no surprise considering it has twice the power of the Rega.
I've also got an Apollo-R sat in the box but will plug that in tomorrow. :)
ah, the grp :lol: Randy Brecker played with them if memory serves.....good stuff........not been into rega stuff much for no particular reason, but like those Q speakers....
I picked up a BT 1000 conditioner today...bloody huge and must have damaged the earth with the amount of metal in it.....
When's the Rega transport and DAC arriving, daftee? :)Quote:

Amplifier bake-off is in full swing. :)
