I was impressed enough with the Bricasti M21 I talked the dealer into letting me hijack it and take it home to Oklahoma to hear it against my PS Audio DirectStream in my own system. To say the least I bought the loner M21 which is actually a brand new unit just built a few weeks ago.
Mike also brought along some Nordost qPoints and QSource power supply for them. I have no idea how those things work but they do. Not sure Mike will ever try taking all that through airport security again!!!
All in all it was a great weekend even if Tim lost a cartridge to the cleaning lady.

Could you share more thoughts on your listening time with the M21?
Are using the M21 as your PreAmp as well?
