| Getting 2 subs I have a pair of Matrix 802 happily assisted by a pair of SVS SB3000 with the preamp set for a 40Hz crossover. Along with an old Bryston 3B-NRB, I have had occasion to replay certain tracks to see if I’ve just been through an earthquake. The earth... | |
| B&W speakers sounding very harsh? Agree with the suggestion of using only the main L & R for music. Using the same setting for the subwoofer for both music & movies is doomed to disappoint; most subs can do either, but not both without different settings. There should be u... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Song title Horizontal Hold by This Heat. The Made Available John Peele is the best. Some creative individual made an unofficial music video that syncs VERY well, https://youtu.be/yGILNOnVWK8Second choice is a song titled Super Are from the Boredom... | |
| Help! Receiver or preamp? Im overwhelmed... This may not suit your purposes, but I don’t use the video portion of my preamp for purposes of convenience. All HDMI sources are routed directly to my display and I use the Toslink output of the display to forward the sound into my 2.0 setup. You... | |
| Transparent cables Recalibration prices out of this world @mikemeeks, thank you for clarifying this. I would assume a Bryston amp paired with B&W 804 speakers isn’t exotic enough for this to mean my Transparent speaker cables need anything special. However, I may need an aluminum foil hat. It’s suppo... | |
| Transparent cables Recalibration prices out of this world Would there be some sort of objective measure that would indicate that these things are destabilizing my amplifier? (Bryston 3B-NRB.) I know there's sarcasm in some of your replies, but $20k speaker cables requiring periodic $1,200 recalibration i... | |
| Transparent cables Recalibration prices out of this world I don’t get it. Why would a speaker cable need to be recalibrated? I have some Transparent bi-wires that I prefer to AudioQuest... This sounds like a scam for supertweakers. | |
| Tool Fear Inoculum impressions An endorsement from the wife regarding better sound quality?Lucky guy. | |
| Tool Fear Inoculum impressions Has anyone downloaded/purchased the new Tool from HDTracks?I'm even more interested in the sound quality of the original CD releases of Tool's catalog compared to the HDTracks. I like everything about Tool with exception to the strange equalizatio... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? I love Bryston's power amps. I’ve not heard anything in the same price range that works as well in SQ. Eager, but not edgy, quiet, open. Seem to last forever and I’ve read that customer service is as good as it gets. Haven’t heard any of their oth... | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! I can understand the disappointment. I worked in a hi-fi shop, selling. In my free time, I took stuff home from the store to personally audition as I had (by far) the best audio system amongst my co-workers. I wasn’t really cut out for selling hi-... | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! I’ve never tried to evaluate my system on a day V night survey, but I had a problem with a tripping circuit breaker. Ran a dedicated 20 amp circuit just for the preamp & power amp, only expecting the breaker to stop tripping. The soundstage de... | |
| Beware!!! Everyone and all American citizen, you must not buy anything from BH Hi-Fi I’ve only had one experience like this, but it ended up great for me. The seller sent me the product and refunded the purchase price of about £600. I sent your b@stards an email congratulating them for their success in making it to the weekly Audi... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I have a Bryston 3B-NRB power amp, more than twenty years old. The only time it’s been off in the last 7 years has been during power outages & overnight+ trips. It’s warm, but not hot. I’ve read of studio installations with Bryston gear that w... | |
| Anticables Never forget that Radio Shack’s 18 gauge speaker wire gets an honorable mention in every Stereophile's annual Reccomended Components. You don’t get much for a few hundred unless there is some silver or custom terminations. |
