| Bryston BP-26 VS 17Cubed Went back to the 17 after 20 hours on the 26. Keep in mind my room (log house) is 30x26x26h. My initial listening reaction is the 26 fills the room more, much larger sound stage, wider, higher, the music is more present, and the detail is much mor... | |
| Bryston BP-26 VS 17Cubed Hello Masi, you have a very nice system there. Yes I'm using the MPS-2 power supply. I thought after listening to the 17 that would be my pick! Now I'm thinking the 26 for sure. I cannot believe the detail! I think the 17 would be more forgiving, ... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker I agree with you however, some of these suggestions, balls, orange juice tops, are a little absurd. This cat was talking 300 lb speakers. The shear physics to accomplish true isolation is not as easy as one thinks. I have been down this road. I do... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker It is pretty comical. Your either into this or not. You don't cut corners because true audio fanatics can never live with cut corners. This hobby or obsession has to be done sometimes incrementally. Wait until you can afford the proper applicatio... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker Scorndefeat, yes the Gaia's have a rubber bottom. Its mounted and recessed around the the entire circumference of the Gaia. They are solidly built. And they look cool! You cannot just slide the speaker once they are installed. They really grab th... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker I get it, the Gaia's are expensive. Here's another thought, never tried them. Hockey pucks...Not expensive from Amazon. I would drill a small hole in the center of the puck. Use a gauge to make sure the depth is consistent. Not too deep, maybe.25"... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker I know the Gaia I are only rated up to 220lbs. However I can assure you, those would be a much better application than Herbies Products, Washing machine feet, coasters, or anything else that was remotely suggested here. Good luck man... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker I thought the same thing! I wouldn't put them under my dogs food bowl! | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker Not cheap, I used Gaia l on my Joseph Audio Pearl 20/20. Well made product that really does isolate. I have pine floors throughout my cabin. They have rubber (almost like suction cups) on the bottoms. I have outriggers, so after running them throu... | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed Thanks for the tip on the polarity invert switch. Have you ever heard the 17 cubed? I think its going to boil down to if the detail and transparency on the 26 is greater than the refinement of the 17cubed? Your 25 is pretty close to the 26... Deta... | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed I don't understand longer interconnects than speaker cables??? My Cardas Clear Reflections are 3m? My xlr are 2m...John | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed The new MPS-2 is a big improvement over the 17. I talked with a few guys who have listened to both...John | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed Thanks Gammonit, For sure I'll post after I audition both units. I'm using Cardas Clear Reflection, and Cardas Jumpers with my JA Pearl 20/20. I'm using the Classe' Cam-600's, very good monoblocks. I was using the Classe' Sigma SSP for only 2 ch... | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed Thanks Gammonit, I'm looking forward in comparing the 2 units. I don't like an overly warm sound either. It sounds as though the 26 has incredible detail and transparency, which isn't such a bad thing. I won't have the 26 here for another few week... | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed I spoke with AudioAdviser, not many dealers have the 26 in stock, they have to be made. I'm liking what I hear with this 17 I'm demoing. Just want to make sure, hence, this is why I'm demoing a 26 at the end of the month. Everyone who I have spoke... |
