Be good to hear your thoughts on it Brian, your system sounded very good with the Caiman in place.

Hi Gary , I will post my thoughts when the Bushmaster has some hours on it .
You have PM .

I like your systems.

I am sorry now that I have broken my 7520 (my soldering skills), later sold Caiman, but apparently last silver BM is in my terrarium, handed personally by Stan the Man.

this one will stay for long in Primary system, as I got bitten by Bushmaster

I was testing the Bushmaster with my new Blu-ray player tonight, playing Serenity. Ye gods, the bass is simply magnificent and it truly felt like I still had the REL Studio II subwoofer in my system. Not typical overblown AV boominess, but tight and very chest-thumping. This is an area where a few days' burn-in has improved the BM even over its out-of-the-box performance.

Hi Stan,

The Bushmaster looks really interesting, congratulations on another success! It's been a while since I ran a Caiman, but I've had all of your DACs (un modded though - a bit beyond me) and I have thought them to be excellent. Just one question if I may?

When I gatorized my Caiman, it was unsuccessful. I removed the gator board and all was well once again. I was running a twin pot passive pre into an NVA amp.

I now use a lightspeed LDR attenuator and still the NVA, so my question is will the Bushmaster likely be happy in this setup? I may have to try one and see, but you probably have a fair idea. Also -any future plans on USB? I no longer spin discs, so I'd need the new HiFace for the Bushmaster, but that's OK.

I apologise if I have missed the answer in this thread, I have tried to keep up! I saw some reference to LDRs probably being OK, but it's my amp that may be the issue here.

Sounds even better . Cheers for the heads up.

A don't have a NVA amp so I can't say with any level of certainty what the problem might have been.

It will be a case of suck it and see.

Also -any future plans on USB?

That'll be the Caiman MKII. But based on past experience don't hold your breath. I don't expect it to be ready this side of Christmas, but I could be wrong.

I haven't tried a LDR, but I look forward to any tests results from anyone who has used it with the Bushmaster.

Thanks Stan, very good of you to reply. I expected a case of suck-it-and-see! Such are the trials of this hobby, auditioning new kit!

I just have to fund a few more ridiculously expensive parts for an amp project someone is doing for me before I get a Bushmaster, but I shall definitely want to trial one soon. I'll let you know how the LDR/NVA combo works with your new baby.
