Quad 2805 Toe In Experience?
Hi Dave. My pair of Quad 2905s are about 2 months old in a room of almost similar dimensions. The ultimate positioning and toe in, will IMHO require a bit of to and fro experimentation until you are completely satisfied. I've yet to settle on the ... 
Quads - Just a couple of questions
The ARC 110 Ref would be a super choice. I nearly walked that road along with a ARC SP 16L.Few dealers and limited choices led me to the Conrad Johnson CT5 preamp and the new CJ L70S power amp. The CJs will take a month or more to arrive...I am ho... 
Quads - Just a couple of questions
I have traded in my 18 month old ML Odysseys for the Quad ESL 2905. The Quads as expected lack the LFE of the MLs but in every other way, to my ears, are among the best speakers out there. You need a minimum of 50wpc and no more than 100wpc.IMHO T...

Better power cord for Bryston
If you check the reviews of the 14BSST on the Bryston site you will find that the review sample sent to AIG(?)had a Sunfire pc. I have used Transparent pcs with a 4BST and 14BST and found significant sonic improvements. 
Need help/advice from Bryston owners
Bryston is a great company, obviously their Indian dealer is not in the same league!NJoy 
Bryston Power Amp users - what power cord?
Was using a Transparent PC with my 14BST.Definite improvement over the manufacturers standard chord. If Bryston doesn't recommend after market pcs then why did it send its review sample(14BSST)to one of the audio mags(AIG ?)with a Sunfire chord? C...

An update and public acknowledgement of Bryston's superb service and customer care are in order.I received the repaired 14BSST on July 21, 2005. Bryston despatched all the parts free to their New Delhi(India)distributor, who charged me the equival... 
Which amp for Arcam FMJ CD 33 and B&W
I have/had somewhat similar gear. An FMJ CD 23 originally paired with an Arcam FMJ A22 integrated coupled with B&W CDM 9NTs, the precursor of the 704s. For long I used a tube preamp(ARC LS2B and now ARC SP 16) with a Bryston (originally 4BST a...

cartridge mounting ? for clearaudio
I had similar concerns regd my clearaudio emotion. The manual is not particularly helpful.I set up the cartridge with and without the lead plate and was unable to discern any meaningful difference(could be my hearing!).Nsgarch is absolutely right.... 
Bryston VS Musical Fidelity
Got to disagree with Tvad. Have used a Bryston/B&W combo for close to 3 years with a tube preamp and the results continue to be magical. Would be weary of using the earlier bryston preamp( the new version has a beefier power supply and sundry ...
