| Choosing the right Bryston amp My friend is a bit shy. In response to this topic, he wrote:"The 4B-ST really makes my F-30's sing. I think that they absolutely need the 4B's power to perform at their best. I am getting full range, nuanced performance from my setup. Of course it... | |

I presume the warnings you received relate to use of AC synchronous motors (like the VPI's) on a PS300... | |

Tube amps need high quality output transformers to have a chance of sounding right on low impedences speakers, and the sad fact is that good output transformers are very expensive. Tube preamps and solid-state preamps tend to cost roughly the same... | |

| will the VAC 30/30 sound ok with VSA DB-99's Good lord, yes. It will blow the house down. The VAC 30/30 is much more powerful than its wattage rating would suggest, and those VS's are incredibly efficient speakers. | |
| Blown tube Tubes tend to die in two ways: (i) infant mortality, in which instance they die in the first 200-300 hours, or (ii) they live until the end of their normal lifespan. They rarely die in between. You are experiencing infant mortality. | |
