| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "Yes the optimal sound has left then returned an hour or day later but I usually fiddle the cables long before that happens."Its possible that if the amp is on but not playing music that it might return to a more normal state when played again. Wh... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Lacee,Do you think it is possible that in some cases with good systems and good ears that user hears no difference replacing an existing "standard issue" fuse with a Hi FI fuse? My opinion is that there may be a discernible difference for the bett... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? " in fact can come back without the system being messed with"Not sure that is necessarily the case as I recall? | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "Plan to try cablepro revelation power strip with no filters "I'd hold off on ANY power conditioning plans until current bass/dynamics issues are resolved. :^) | |

| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "I would keep power conditioners out of the equation period. "Agree. Once the issue with deteriorating bass/dynamics is resolved, then add it in gradually perhaps and see what might be had further from there. Power amp would be last thing to use w... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Should be different for the better.I'm pretty sure the BRyston amp you would need to drive the PSB load effectively is not the same as what you would find in any typical integrated amp, but have not done the research on Bryston specs to say for su... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Here is the info on the Autoformer Zeros DevicesI agree that these appear to be a viable solution for providing your amp a load that it is more suited to drive. Resulting sound should be different, but assuming the amp/speaker load match is the is... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I would not use any power conditioner on power amp or integrated (which includes power amp) unless it is rated to deliver enough power and current. Use it with source devices and pre-amp but not device that provides power (integrated in this case)... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Fish, if it were me, with those speakers i would not use any integrated if I had the option in any case. I think you would find the right dedicated power amp to be a clear improvement all the time. That's why I suggest the option of buying/trying ... | |

| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Yes, maybe someone reading this in NYC area can help. If dealer is not local, it's hard to audition, for sure. At this point, I just think the over-driven amp theory has the most evidence communicated to support it. Find one that will not break a ... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Tell him the gang on A'gon does not think you are a kook and that we will boycott his store (wherever it is) unless good customer service is demonstrated! :^)Good customer service including ability to audition gear when needed is pretty much the o... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Atmas,WHy rule out the amps when there is nothing indicating any of them are/were up to the task of driving the load of the PSBs without running out of gas.RF from digital, malfunctioning or otherwise, might have an effect but my experience with t... |
