| How to add a subwoofer to my system? I went with 2 Y jacks going out of R+L preouts.one pair cables from each y jack(sub+amp,right side)left side same thing,speakers on large. | |
| cdp soundstage All I can say is Lps do have an big immediate sounding soundstage.I recorded from lp onto disc and the soundstage shrank big time.cds,compared to lps are quite compressed.I wish I could capture that lp sound on disc also.I believe some dacs,cdp,ca... | |
| Bryston SP2 It's going to be awhile,maybe summer,jamestanner@bryston.cawill have a better idea.I can't wait. | |
| Why no audio when "Pure Direct" mode is set to ON I'd double check your inputs on the Denon.I have outputted when i should have inputted,or depressed a button without thinking. | |
| Bryston SP2 I'd wait for the Bryston SP-3 | |
| Sub X-overs/internal,external I went this route,as i have one DD-15,i had some Cardas grc Y cables(this is for the music side)set my 50as to large,I ran two Ycables from myAV-8 R+L main preouts,from the right Y,I ran two cables,one went to the sub input and one went to my 7B-s... | |
| Basic electrical questions. It definately makes sense to have dedicated Lines,no extra hitchhikers on your audio lines.I wouldn't want noisy dimmer switches,fridge,micro, ect.messing with audio power.I have subpanel(dedicated 4-15a breakers.4 double receptacles and 2X240v fo... | |
| Power cord into power amp Perhaps the Isoclean will only handle so much amperage.components don't use much amperage,amps do.I use3X7B-ssts+2X4B-sstsI have dedicated lines 10guage.I use to plug in direct to the wall(was good,still not what I wanted to hear,triedShunyata(hyd... | |
| To use a line conditioner/surge protector or not?? I have found and I'm sure alot of people here found,that alot of conditioners limit power to the amps when the they need it.Some are limited to what the wall can give out.A 15a circuit,20a ect.Music peaks seem to demand way more than 15a.I have be... | |
| Bryston BCD-1, Rega Saturn, Simaudio CD3.3, and ? I don't know about the Rega,but I know the BCD-1 will be my last CDP.I did compare with 3 others AR CD-7,Arcam-33 or 36.I definately preferred the Bryston,she seemed so right in getting me alot closer to the musicians,instruments ect.Lots of meat ... | |
| Power Conditioning: Exactpower vs. Rotel vs. other There is a Torus BX-5(6 outlet)on audiogon(1000.00)It'll depend on the total amperage your power amp wants.The Torus will give you more amperage than the wall can give,and total isolation.Torus are superb conditioners,a bit pricey.they are quite t... | |
| Sub X-overs/internal,external Hi KAl,I do use the bass management in the AV-8.I don't use the subs crossover at all.My 50as go down to 32-34 hz,so I am using the AV-8 crossed over at 60hz.I mainly run stereo direct as it bypasses all the digital.I use the dacs in the Bryston B... | |
| Sub X-overs/internal,external I want to relieve the mains of bottom end(free up so to speak.I use a Arcam Av-8 prepro,Bryston 7b-ssts,BCD-1 CDP,Revel 50asI figure a high quality external X-over might give me more quality,like comparing a receiver(all in one),where I find separ... | |
| power line conditioners... I agree with Bob,They are quite amazing.i have Two Torus Piusa 20a Balanced(components) and a 60a balanced(power amps).they definately are Huge upgrade,If your audio dealer will let you try one at home,I'm sure you won't send her back.The music ri... | |
