Description

Metamorphosed from an all Arcam system.The cd 23 survived,out went the FMJ A22(integrated)& P25(power amp,)to be replaced with a Bryston BP25 & 4 BST which made way for the ARC LS 2B & 14 BST.Its been quite a journey at a fairly hectic pace.Quite remarkable considering that only a few brands are available in this part of the world(New Delhi,India).

Most immediate goal is to replace the preamp,possibly with an ARC SP16.Need a remote and an inbuilt phono stage before I upgrade the turntable(Rega 25 ??).

Next would be the speakers, wife and budget permitting.Love the B&W 802Ns.Would need a dedicated listening room which I don't have...dreams ,dreams and more dreams.

Tried to look into your lyrita amp website with no luck. Are they still in production? They must be really something to make you switch from the ARc and brystons.
