| The Amp Quits Agin -- Am I Missing Something? I own a Bryston 4B-ST, and have a couple of suggestions for you:1. Check the switch on the rear panel for the "Bridged/Individual" mode to be sure that you have not accidentally set it to "bridged" (which would cause the amp to operate in only one... | |
| Where to buy unterminated speaker wire Hi: Unfortunately, S7's price guesstimate on the Kimber 8TC is incorrect. The MSRP for Kimber 8TC recently increased to $14 a linear foot, and 4TC is $8 per linear foot. However, Kimber Kable 8VS and 4VS fall within your budget, and are also very ... | |
| Another dumb question The info above regarding the input sensitivity of the power amp constitutes the majority of the answer to your question, but there is one other piece of information that may help you to understand what is going on. There is often a misconception a... | |
| Need help packing gear....dont have boxes no more As a veteran of a number of international moves from the U.S. to points overseas, I can commiserate with you. Since your audio gear may be subjected to less than tender treatment, you need to find a way to pack your gear so it is both immobilized ... | |
| TAS's recommended speakers under 2500 Hi, John:Thanks for your comments, but I can't let one of them pass without disagreeing. I own Vandersteen 3A Sig's, supplemented with a stereo pair of Vandy 2Wq subs, and I can assure you that this system does NOT lack detail, nor is there anythi... | |
| TAS's recommended speakers under 2500 Kirk: I like the idea of having a matrix to rate speakers -- rather like the matrix used by Road & Track mag uses to compare cars by class. If the Audiogon regulars were to design such a rating matrix, we would need to identify the relevant fa... | |
| Speaker cables for Revel F30's with Bryston 9b st? Given your budget, you should definitely put the Alpha-Core Goertz MI2 (copper) speaker cables on your 'short list'. You can buy a 8-foot bi-wired pair, with silver spade terminations, for less than $500. I recently installed a bi-wire pair of the... | |
| Review: Vandersteen 3a Sig Speaker I have had a set of Vandy 3A Signature speakers for about 2 years, and I think your description of their strengths (and minor "weaknesses") is pretty accurate. In many of my posts, I have also stressed the point (maybe ad nauseum) that I have a st... | |
| How do I get into a Vandy? Hi, Brian:I had a conversation several years ago with Richard Vandersteen on a very similar idea (I have a full Vandersteen system), and he implied that "getting the sock off" is more difficult than suggested here. You might be well advised to con... | |
| Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality Chris:I haven't laughed so hard at an A-gon post in a long time! I have a friend who owns some Musical Fidelity gear, and I can't wait to send this to him. As a Bryston owner, I'd be interested to know about my hidden personality characteristics..... | |
| Review: Homegrown Audio Super Silver Interconnect There were a number of threads about HGA's interconnects on the forum during the past 18-24 months, which might be instructive to look at for those considering HGA's IC's. I have had all of HGA's interconnects installed in my system at various tim... | |
| CD re-issue: "Basic Library" In response to the 2 questions above:1. I have not heard the previous CD release of "Circle", so I have no basis for comparing it with the new 24-bit remastered version. I had the original LP set, but sold it in the late 1980's because it had gott... | |
| Day-Sequerra FM tuners Hi, RC:If you don't get the info you need, you might send an E-mail to Richard Sequerra. Here is the link to the contact page on his Web site:http://www.sequerra.com/electronics/data/index.html | |
| Bryston BP-25 or Musical Fidelity A3 CR The Bryston BP-25 preamp is an excellent pairing with the 4B-SST. If it were me, I'd stick with the "all Bryston" line up -- it offers excellent sound quality, and has that great 20-year unconditional warranty. | |
| Is this a real upgrade? Once upon a time, admittedly some years ago, I sold McIntosh stereo equipment. Their quality of McIntosh gear was very high then, and if anything is perhaps a bit better know. Without actually hearing the 2205/6100 combo vs. the 6100 alone, it's r... |
