Should I update my manufactures power cords?
Aaudiphine1 - I guess your post is directed at my comment regarding upgrading a component?  If so, I invite you and any one to come by our listening room in New Jersey and spend some listening time.  We can show anyone what the difference are.  Be... 
How good is good enough?
It stops when you find out what makes sound do what it does.  It is not pricing that dictates sound, it is design and parts quality.  You can upgrade your existing components using better parts that the manufacturer used and get fantastic results ...

Keep my 1996 bryston 4B or get a new 4B
Don't waste your time sending it back for the same old, same old.  Send it to me for an upgrade.  Better power supply capacitors, better resistors, etc.  It will become a reference level sounding amp.  Bryston won't be soldering in those parts tha... 
Do I upgrade my cartridge or my turntable
Buy the Denon I think model 103 and have the wood body installed  then you are finished for sure.

Volume Problem Trouble Shooting Ideas?

Help with tube choice
look at Ness Tones  he has some cheap ones that I have used around $10 each.  Worth a try before you go completely crazy.  
Speaker Efficiency
So much goes into the design of an amplifier.  Transformers, power supply section, parts selection, etc.  Audio Note, V-Caps, point-to-point wiring, copper chassis, etc.  Then there is the implementation to reduce the noise level.  In typically lo...

They are still in business.  Was at Audio Connection yesterday.  Poor service maybe but still in business.  We also do not keep any inventory or very little but we do try to respond within 24-48 hours. Enjoy them, they produce some magical sounds.   
Amplifier Specification questions
@curiousjim - well their answer is completely BS.  Sounds like Class A.  I have to laugh at what manufacturers actually say to their customers. Happy Listening.

Being a manufacturer the phono stage is the most important.  We have access to so much equipment and the phono stage is what produces the sound.  You don't have to spend big bucks on a cartridge like the Denon DH103 and get a wood body for that, o...
