| Montreal Show? I don't think anything is irrelevant to those who enjoy it. As is the case with any show its only relevant to those who attend and in this case seeing as you didn't attend its only irrevelant to you. I stand corrected - its obviously relevant enou... | |
| Montreal Show? While the show has been well attended and written about in the past I don't think this year is any less important. I haven't been in 5 years (no longer live anywhere close) but I have read on other boards that there are a number of missing exhibit... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Yes briefly (but without listening for any audible changes) and as I said earlier I "measured" the outcome using my home made device (AM radio) that in fact when the copper sleeve is in place it reduces the noise at the terminations.But my point i... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC First off let me say I have no electrical background and I am not DIY (soldering and the like) kind of guy either so my thoughts are worth what you are paying for them...I can see how the copper sleeve could stop airborne nasties from entering in ... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Now I haven't had the time to audibly check what happens after installation but what I can report is that I use a portable AM radio tuned just off a station (to get static) and the polymer or plastic housings on IEC and male ends of my power cords... | |
| Has anyone ever cried listening to your system not listening but a buddy of mine's eyes welled up when he pinched his finger under my 80 lb. amp. | |
| Preamp upgrade for Bryston 3B-SST Power Amplifier I think all gear has some level of sensitivity to cables. You can do a search here and over at Audiocircle under the Bryston chat board for more info. That being said if you do get a Bryston preamp try the blue heaven cables on the single ended co... | |
| Preamp upgrade for Bryston 3B-SST Power Amplifier I would think that if a low noise floor is a key desire than a Bryston preamp would suit the bill. If you can live with a little tube "noise" (assuming that your VTL has a wee bit of it) then other tubed preamps could be as quiet as what you have ... | |
| Preamp upgrade for Bryston 3B-SST Power Amplifier Tubed preamps that I have owned with Bryston amps (4B-ST, 4b-SST & 14B-SST) - Rogue Audio Magnum 99, Hovland HP-100, Lamm L2 Deluxe (very nice) and now have an ARC LS-26. All were good matches with my amps. Unfortunately I have not had any VTL... | |
| Heard the Bryston SST 2 Squared ? Dweller - the "C" series pertains to the faceplate only and has nothing to do with whats inside. "C" stands for consumer faceplate which is more esthetically pleasing Vs their other faceplate which is more industrial looking. | |
| CD player ungradeitis; Sony SCDxa5400es I owned a 333ES years ago that I ended up getting modded by Richard Kern. Sometime after that I acquired a XA9000ES which was better on both redbook and SACD. From the little I have read on the new XA5400ES and based on my experience with my 333ES... | |
| ARC LS26 versus Cary SLP-05 get the LS-26. I auditioned the 17, 26 and ref 3 and while I would have dearly loved the ref 3 the LS-26 won out do to budget restraints. My buddies and I felt the 26 was well worth the extra money over the 17. | |
| bryston bp-26 VS cambridge 840e having owned a variety of Bryston products over the years and a BP-26/14BSST combo (the preamp on loan) I can attest to the synergy between their preamps & amps. Never having listened to the Cambridge its not really fair of me to say you are m... | |
| Power Cord...16 ft Why don't you make you own? There are a few DIY suppliers out there that will sell you the parts although I am not sure how much the end product will end up costing vis-a-vis your budget. An alternate choice would be to buy a contractor grade (I t... | |
| Amp advice for Sound Lab M-2's If considering used Bryston amps make sure they are the latest production incorporating the "swedish choke" mod which has become current production specs. Get the serial numbers and email Bryston to ensure you are getting the latest version. I had... |
