Hello all
Really pleased that I bought a modded Caiman from Gazjam - top bloke, very helpful and patient. The kit was in great condition and very well packed and he threw in the stock PSU which wasn't part of the sale.
I'm starting to stray into upgrading my system and this was just what the doctor ordered as a first step. He's a credit to the forum and I'm inclined to buy with confidence after this.
On that point the Caiman feeds a Cambridge Audio A1 and Rogers LS4a speakers. I like the speakers and I think that the amp could be a weak link for now - hard to tell though - it could be either. I enjoy my system most listening to acoustic guitar and singer or small jazz ensembles, nothing to 'busy' - what I have can sound a bit muddied when things get busy.
I've hankered after a Quad 303 (using the Caiman as a preamp) and have heard they generally match well with Rogers speakers (albeit my low end ones). Any other suggestions? An old Nait? Probably looking for something up to £300.
Maybe this is for another thread? Perhaps I shouldn't detract from my praise of Gazjam?? His MCRU server is something I have my eye on for the future by the way.
Big thanks to Puffin (Rob), for the Genesis cables sold to me at a great price and promptly sent. Great communication too!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Hope you get as much pleasure out of the Beresford Caiman as I did Steve.
The medical linear PSU takes things up a notch again.
Always good to welcome a new AOS member with a sale!
