this entire paragraph is a strawman. you're the only one who has brought up the faceplate of this unit, which i might add, is yet to be seen, much less heard. i've owned bryston equipment in the past (power amp). and thought it to be extremely well made, and an excellent sounding piece of equipment. and btw, it had a 20 year -transferable- warranty. name anyone else, in any business, who offers something similar. certainly not the maker of your $200 car. i'm curious- do you own a car? if so, what make/model? were there less expensive options? if so, what influenced your decision to pay more for such a basic mode of transportation? -- 4 TB Drobo-->FW 800-->mac mini-->Ethernet Transporter--> Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax-->Meridian G61 G61--> Nordost Red Dawn-->Primare 30.3 Primare-->Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
