| Bryston 4bst - fast or slow blow fuses? There is a Bryston Forum at www.audiocircle.com where I am sure you can get the answer. Bryston monitors the site and a VP from Bryston answers a lot of questions. | |
| Beatles Love, should I run? Own it on CD and am really enjoying the arrangements, the order and placement of songs, really everything. Recording quality is very good also. I grew up with these songs and am enjoying the bit a variation from the original recordings. Go for it. | |
