Bryston 7B ST - Sounds anaemic. Any help?
Sean, don't take my comments too personally. I think that there might be some merit in the fact that if someone is not used to tight bass, of the type to be heard with a 7B ST, but is rather used to a fat, floppy sort of bass, the conclusion could... 
Bryston 7B ST - Sounds anaemic. Any help?
Sean,I have looked briefly at the Asylum thread you referred to. I think you prove my point that when subjective listening by an avid audiophile such as you does not jibe with any rational measurement, some sort of explanation is drummed up to sup... 
Bryston 7B ST - Sounds anaemic. Any help?
A 7B ST anaemic? I have a pair and they could drive the proverbial brick. Two possibilities come to mind: the amp is sick and needs professional care; your level of anticipation was such that the amp can never be equal to the task. This second pos... 
Cables "Burn In"
Who cares what the claims are. Who cares what, if any, explanation is proferred. The only thing that counts is whether you hear an improvement in the sound. The rest is just techno-babble, scientific jargon and ex-post facto rationalisation. We li... 
What's your profession? Age?

Cables "Burn In"
Psychic, have we not crossed keyboards in the past? I am aurally challenged and know not the truth. BTW, a virus is not a nice thing, so quit comparing the "truth" to it. I am an ignorant, a raving know-nothing-know-it-all. I am so inept as an aud... 
How good does it get?
Must'have jumped the paragraph about lack of car and distance to shops. I will stick to the gist of my earlier comments though, you have to hear them to know, so whether you take a bus or bum a ride from friends or family, you have to be in the sa... 
How good does it get?
Thiel 3.6s can give outstanding results. However, I have heard that a replacement model is due out. In speakers, trust your ears. Find a procedure to follow while auditioning speakers that puts every aspect of performance to the test. Don't throw ... 
Condition this baby
Sean, are you sure about that? How much voltage sag are you talking about? I know that power in many parts of the States is hit or miss in terms of keeping it to a decent spec, but how bad can it be that the power output of the amp can be throttle...

Upgrading the ac cable will prevent your amp from clipping? Say that again? I am hearing things. The one thing that no one can accuse the participants in this forum of being is versed in the fundamentals of electricity. Tell me I did not read this... 
I'm still working to love digital, are you?
Ron. In the same sort of thread a good while back, I asked a vinylist (is that a word, I like it...) who posed this sort of challenge (again is that the right word?) what was his suggestion insofar as a tt/arm/cartridge combo that is a must hear a... 
I'm still working to love digital, are you?
I'm alright, you're alright. Alright? Digital is digital. Analog is analog. LPs are the sore point. A diamond stylus gouging its way through vinyl at every turn of the table. Argh. 
Cables "Burn In"
Audiofile9, I really don't care what you found, since you appear to have missed my point entirely. This forum is for you and yours in any event. The whole thing is so predictable at any rate that my post indicated what the likely comeback would be... 
Cables "Burn In"
On the one hand, on the other hand. Have I not heard something like this on numerous occasions? The whole burn-in thing has to be a joke. If any component actually needs burning in to sound better, this means that, unless whatever change happens i... 
New Analog system. where to start?
