| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels I say Quietrock. I built my 2-channel room with Quietrock 545 - more than an inch thick, with embedded sheet steel.Not cheap - but cost-effective. The quality of the silence is remarkable - actually, most people DO remark on it as soon as they ent... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? Last month got a factory reconditioned 4BSST for my subs. Talk about cost-effective!! | |
| Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System? @wlutke +1Caffeine is a sleep-killer. So is alcohol. It's hard to enjoy anything when sleep-deprived. | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING I have a Koetsu which is highly sensitive to setup. Suggest you check:(1) VTA: try the cartridge tail down(2) Azimuth: turn it a fraction of a degree and observe increase or decrease in distortion(3) torque of mounting screws (I'm not kidding) wit... | |
| Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System I solved this problem by positioning TWO centre channel speakers next to the TV, between the main L and R speakers. Those two speakers were smaller versions of the L and R mains. Two more small speakers for surround speakers, and I had HT when I w... | |
| Problem with Bryston 4B SST. Factory. Call the factory. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. This afternoon I was listening to my Quad ESLs at very low volume: pure magic. BUT not bass you can feel - I think that's impossible at low volume. | |
| Putting together turntable rig I'm with pindac on 'Newly Cleaned'. I use ultrasound, and it's by far the best way. IMO | |
| Clear my confusion @bigkidz is right. Get a tech to inspect the schematic and identify the most critical resistors and capactors (typically the input resistors and the gain resistors), and upgrade those to the best you can afford. I use nude Vishay resistors, which ... | |
| warmest speaker cables you've heard? Any high inductance speaker cable will do. Longer is warmer. Price is irrelevant. | |
| Can a Classe SSP replace a dedicated stereo pre? I have an SSP-800 for the HT in one room and dedicated two channel in another. They sound much different - but both of them sound good. | |
| Problem with Bryston 4B SST. Good advice Jerrold. If that fails, call Bryston. They are very helpful and have SUPERB customer service. | |
| Putting together turntable rig With those skills, why not consider making your own? Lots more fun, lots more rewarding, and lots more bang for the buck.I could share some thoughts from a successful build, if you are interested. | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? The only truly execrable amp I've ever bought was a Class D from China, for the subs in my home theatre. Thank goodness I put it on the bench first.Same week I bought an old Bryston for the purpose - musical, powerful, bullet-proof - should have ... | |
| Putting together turntable rig I agree with @dover ’s suggestions: turntable first, tonearm second, phono stage third, cartridge fourth. I went the other way once, against expert advice, to my cost.The TT’s job is to turn a record silently. That means a first class bearing. Air... |
