Less fatiquing
You may want to sell the Bryston gear and look for a Rowland or Classe integrated amp, or even a tube integrated.If you want to keep the Bryston, try some Cardas Cross or Golden Cross cabling.

Problems with shipping to Canada
Well, maybe lowball offer wasn't a good term. It was a fair offer, but turned out to be a lowball offer when I got stuck with the brokerage fees. It was just a Shakti Stone. A Canadian with a modest amount of all positive feedback (I want to say a... 
Problems with shipping to Canada
One can have bad experiences on either side of the border, and of course many more good ones on both sides as well.Restock, while this is true, what protection does one have from a Canadian not paying their import duties?Yes, it seems that other ... 
Walker EST Silver treatment?
I also give the Walker Extreme SST a big thumbs up. Once again, carefully applied this contact enhancer just seems to enable the music to flow with less impedence. Like another veil has been lifted, so to speak.John 
Problems with shipping to Canada
I just had the same thing happen to me. Fed Ex wants $35 for a $120 sale. They told me the same thing, they were unable to collect from the buyer, and now the shipper is liable for import duties.I say, no more shipping to Canada.John

Does the Scout have the inverted bearing?I have a HW-19 mk IV, pre-inverted bearing design platter.So I guess mine should be done like Alephman says, lubricated with oil, not grease.I probably should still shoot off an e-mail to VPI.Thanks,John 
Lubrication for VPI tables
Now I'm confused. One recommendation says use white lithium grease, the other says to use oil for lubrication. Does anyone know for sure which it is, or is it best to just contact VPI for this information?John 
Are silver cables best for my system????
In my experiences, silver cables tend to be more revealing and transparent, while copper cables tend to be warmer and more musical. This is a generalization, but I've found that it holds true for me. Now, each will shine it the right system. I've ... 
Best cable recommendations - help
Nate, you haven't been in a motorcycle accident, have you?I've told you before, wearing the helmet is for your own protection.Hope all is well,John :-) 
Best integrated amp for about 2.5k
I would think that a downgrade. If you like the McCormack sound, but just want to go integrated for space, I'd look into a Jeff Rowland Concentra I or II depending on budget.Krell, Levinson, and MF are more neutral, but leaner sounding than your M...
