| upgrade my system...... To best the Proceed, yes, the Bryston 7B-ST would do it. You will never need another amp. I must tell you that I do not own one, although I hope to one day. Right now I use the 4B-ST, which is 250wcp and the same size as ONE of the 7B monoblocks. ... | |
| best interconnect for less than 100??? Half a meter of Audioquest Coral--new--should run you just at $100. You can probably find some on this site for less. If you really want to treat yourself, get it. | |
| Best reciever for Paradigm Reference .. By all means keep the Bryston. No receiver can match the power and quality. I would recommend upgrading to a new processor. Both B&K and Denon make separates, but if you have the cash I would recommend the new Bryston SP-1. | |
| bananas or spades? I think the real thing to look for is a connector that fastens the best to your amp and speakers. Whether spade or something else, the connector should be soldered well, and then that solder joint should have a protective, air tight rubber shrink-... | |
| Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile??? NAD makes a surround sound receiver. You might want to take a listen, if you like the sound of your integrated amp. Not sure what your budget is. I have a Sony STR-DA777ES. Excellent piece if you can still find one. Sony basically took their separ... | |
| Why are optical cables jitter prone? Normally in a manufacturing sense it is harder and more expensive to make something with a tight tolerance. Not sure if he just stated himself wrong, but having a "high tolerance" means having a loose fit. I would expect optical cable dimensions t... | |
| Best speakers for classical music 2k ? For speakers PMC TB-1 or Dynaudio Contour 1.3 $1000-1500For CD Musical Fidelity A3cd $800-1000For power: Musical Fidelity A300 Integrated Amp $1200-1500 (they make separates, which I recommend over the integrated, but it will double your cost)If y... | |
| Point of Diminishing Returns? What's wrong with the Sony 9000ES? There are not too many other reference players out there. And even of those, while the DVD video might be better, Once bitten has stated that he wants the SACD feature. Now I might be wrong, but I think the Sony ... | |
| My 4B-ST runs Hot Well, switching speakers or cables around did nothing to diminish the heat problem. The unit is going back to Bryston tomorrow. Hopefully the excessive heat did not damage the internal components. | |
| Which cables for B W N803 s and Bryston7 Personally I love Audioquest Sterling coming off the 4B-ST in my audio system. The Sterling might be priced a little high, but most that you can buy now is used so a price break is garranteed. However, I do use Transparent MusicWave Plus Bi-wire f... | |
| C-J Premier 10 replacement tubes You can buy tubes direct from CJ, but I buy Ram Labs tubes off Audio Advisor. I have a PV12 pre-amp. Not sure if they carry what you are looking for, but their mail order service for small parts is fast. | |
| Conrad-Johnson Discussion website? Don't know of any site for CJ talking. I own a PV12 pre-amp and have some questions myself. Is it possible to upgrade the power cord? Mine is permanently attached through the back panel. Let me know if you find a good site. | |
| Point of Diminishing Returns? I think I made an error. I see above that you own the Sony XBR400. Great TV. Almost bought one. I did buy the KW-34HD1. I then returned it because it would not accept 480p from anything but the HD component inputs--not the regular component inputs... | |
| Krell Home Theater Standard Thanks. I'll keep shopping. | |
| Point of Diminishing Returns? Does the Proceed AVP have a true analog direct? It might, I'm not sure. IMHO, I would advise redirecting the $3000 this way: Sell the Sony DVP-S7700. Buy the new Sony DVP-S9000ES. It has CD, DVD, and SACD. You will love it. I own one. The new 9000... |
