There's an interesting thread on a UK forum. The thread was started by me (and my enthusiasm for the Beresford is well documented here on headfi) - but one poster says he has upgraded his system by going from the GBP£2k ($4K !!) Linn Ikemi to the Mk.III Beresford. Now that's a stunning...

Quote: Originally Posted by Quicky So, what I want to know is, does the Beresford MKIII beat the Moodlabs? I don't know - I haven't heard the Moodlabs. But I have directly compared the MkII and III Beresford. The III is substantially better. And I really liked the II. The...

Quote: Originally Posted by Herandu I love the sound of the MKII and didn't think any upgrade would extract anything substantial out of it. I am however quite amazed how much more I can hear when switching between the two. If the MKII was about detail, then the MKIII sounds to me at...

Stanley Beresford has started using me as one of his Beta Testers, I guess because of my enthusiasm for his products and because he seems to value my ears! He recently sent me a pre-prototype digital cable that I thoroughly dis-liked, and I told him so , so he's certainly not after a "yes man"...

Quote: Originally Posted by thubble Looks like the analog out just needed burn-in, after all. The midrange is back and better than ever, and the instrument separation is amazing. The bass is tight but smooth, and there's not even a hint of treble harshness. I'll be happy with this setup...

Quote: Originally Posted by thubble I made myself an impedance adapter by putting a 120-ohm resistor in series with each channel. This completely gets rid of the hiss, and tightens up the bass as well. It doesn't go as loud as before, but that's probably good for my hearing...
