dedicated power receptacles for mono blocks?
It sounds like having the dedicated outlets on the same phase will reduce the possibility of ground loops.  Thank you responders!

I forgot to mention that if you had the voltage switch set to 240 volt you would also be plugged into a 240 volt outlet!  
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
Ok, so sounds like what I'm hearing is perfectly normal, which is what a technician at Bryston told me.  I will stop fretting! Thank you all for your responses  
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
bslon: I think my sound could be also described somewhere between a thud and pop. Interesting you had it on the older version as well. I'd be curious if anyone else who has the 4BSST2 has the issue.  I will send an email to James tanner if I can ... 
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
I measured DC voltages at speaker terminals on the amp and both channnels measured .000VDC. This measurement was with a fairly decent fluke meter and had the volume set to zero on preamp and speakers disconnected.  That's how to do it, correct?  
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
No tube preamp. I've tried the amp with two different solid state amplifiers and with no inputs at all and the pop still occurs. I noticed that it seems to be an equal pop on both left and right channels.  I will perform the dc speaker terminal t...

Anything by Ben Webster  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
I love my low cost office system.  I repurposed speaker boxes, installed seas dual concentric drivers with recommended crossovers powered by a used Hegel H160 integrated amp and stream via a blue sound node. I recently added a small sealed REL su... 
Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc.
I like Deezer, but wouldn't mind a trial run of Qobuz as it seems all the cool kids use it.  
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be
I have a blue sound streamer coupled with a Bryston DAC. I find the best audio improvements come from the source of my music streaming service. E.G. Radio Paradise seems to have better quality audio than a lot of what I get from Deezer. So maybe m... 
Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent
How on earth would a company "recalibrate" these fancy speaker cables?  
3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it?
I just read the review and Amir from ASR actually put that speaker on his recommended list. Beyond measurements, he was pleased with the sound.  
Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore?
I too remember the days of commercial free, album rock stations. What an era! How did they survive at all?  I used to play my radio all night to the music. I got so much of my musical background from that format and especially the show King Biscui... 
Happy Holidays to All
All the well-wishes at Christmas on Audiogon remind me of a story from WWI. The fighting between trenches stopped on Christmas and gifts were supposedly tossed between trenches! I hope that's a true story. My analogy to Audiogon is a very farfetc... 
Robert Plant
I have many fond memories of listening to Led Zeppelin and still listen on occasion.  I probably started listening at age 13 or so and remember the original bright pink cassette tapes well over 50 years ago! I didn't have a clue then that one of m...
