I'm Rob.
Caiman is one of the best hifi products I ever owned.
The only reason I sold it because I got a good offer and only after I read this thread about new Bushmaster. Now I am in a waiting game to visit NW London again to collect my BM
But after reading about new mods on Caiman Gator board, I wish I did not sell it
Maybe, I will get Caiman again...

The next Caiman is not due till the end of the year if everything goes to plan. So you can indulge in a Bushmaster and add a C2 later onOriginally Posted by RoboCopper

One question, Stan?The next Caiman is not due till the end of the year if everything goes to plan. So you can indulge in a Bushmaster and add a C2 later on
In your opinion, which one will be better sound wise?
Cheers
p.s. I miss my Caiman, but hope to endure till BM

I don't believe in a manufacturer telling you which of his product sounds better. Those sort of comments could be seen as pure marketing, or favouring the sale of a more expensive item.
But my personal aim is to get them all sound better than the opposition, whilst providing different options with each type.

I am looking forward to those new products
Can you say at least which one sounds eg. like tube vs transistor? Or panel speaker vs. dynamic?
If you could make that sort of rude comparison?
Anyway, I have a feeling that after BM, my next one will be new Caiman mk2
Good to hear about new products from Stan.

In answer to your question Stan, potentially a double kick in the balls. The Bushmaster is out and was expressing my disappointment about that as well as responding with potential disappointment to a view expressed about the Caiman. As someone who owns the 6/4 my agenda is I want a new Beresford dac which markedly improves on the 6/4 with no volume output issue

Caiman 2? Will that use the same DAC chip and the Caiman 1, or the newer Bushmaster technology, Stan?

What's going to be the difference between the C2 and the BM?
BTW, how did you like the snow pics?
