| To REWIRE or LET BE: a speakers question I know someone who did it to his own speakers. He used to work in the industry. I think they were a basic two-way design, so it took not a lot of work. He said it was a night and day difference. The speakers became ultra transparent. I don't see h... | |
| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? I've put my new Sony DVP-9000ES up against my Meridian 508.24. In SACD mode, the Sony nearly chased the Meridian out of the room, and that was before I broke it in fully. I'm too scared to try it now that I've had the player for a while. I'm worri... | |
| So many choices what to buy? No, it's not a no-brainer. He may be looking for input on build quality, service, buyers guilt stories. Personally, I just don't like the quality of B&W except in their top speakers. You can't go wrong with Thiel, but the things will cost you ... | |
| Best Amp/Pre-amp Combo for 1500 I've always been curious about Musical Fidelity. Audio Advisor has that 30 day return policy, too. | |
| My 4B-ST runs Hot Nope, my speaker cables and interconnects are hooked up correctly. The only other thing that might be causing this is my pre-amp. For anyone who owns a Conrad-Johnson product, you know that they are not phase inverting. This means that when I send... | |
| Hafler 9505 or Bryston 4B-ST? Bryston has plenty of power for Contours. I was contemplating buying some Dynaudios myself, and I already have a 4B-ST in my system. I've heard that the Dynaudios need some major bass control. The Bryston is know for that. Plus, the 20 year warran... | |
| Damping Factor of Muscal Fidelity A3cr Just had another thought, if Stereophile rated the amp, that means they did an article on it. You might check your old issues. Well, I assume you get Stereophile, you might not. Try the Stereophile website to search for the article. I was always c... | |
| The Professional Monitor Company I use the LB-1 for a center channel because it has the single best voice reproduction I've heard. What better than a recording monitor to project accurate voice, right? I also like that they use Dynaudio drivers. I was contemplating buying the Dyn... | |
| My 4B-ST runs Hot Alright, just a follow up. I put the amp through the paces tonight for about an hour. It stays cool for about two songs (rock, R&B) at a pretty good volume. Then it begins to warm up pretty steadily, favoring the right side of the amp. After a... | |
| Sony STR-DA777ES to Pre/Pro? Priorities: home theater-80%, sacd-20%. Price: Less than $6,000. I want upgradability first, then sonics, then bells and whistles. Thanks for the info on the other post. I read it thoroughly. I felt though that my question is a slightly different ... | |
| Best Pre-amp under 5000 Thanks for the advice all. | |
| My 4B-ST runs Hot My speakers have a 90 dB efficiency, 8 ohms nominal impedance, recommend 110 watts for amp power. The 4B-ST should kick them around the block no problem. The funny thing about all of this--Bryston is the distributer for PMC monitors in the US and ... | |
| What's your profession? Age? As long as you don't ask what our political affiliation is then we'll all get along just fine. :) I'm an out-of-college-engineering-student who had to go to work to support my audio addiction. Two systems, audio and home theater, combined 30K and ... | |
| My 4B-ST runs Hot Four inches above the amp, open all around. Rack is Lovan. I use Audioquest Lapis ICs and Audioquest Sterling speaker cable--terminated for bi-wire at store. I must add that the heat seems concentrated on the right side of the top lid (if you are ... | |
| Adcom? I had read that they had a quality problem a few years ago. Never one to believe what I read, I auditioned their amps. Their stuff looks cool, but I never found one I liked listening to. I eventually settled on Bryston (by the way top notch compan... |
