| Please advise on Yamaha T-7000 tuner You have just bought one of the all-time classic tuners. Ensure you get the best antenna rig you can install to get the best out of this beauty. Happy listening, regards Richard at www.vantageaudio.com | |
| Horrific crackeling at power down...!?! Assuming you don't have another item of equipment ahead of the amp signal input switching off just ahead of the amp you may have something "leaking" to ground which you should get checked asap. Agree with Sndsel, contact Bryston as they will be mo... | |
| What to look for in a multimeter? Buy the best you can afford and look for the usual volts and ohms ranges along with autoranging and autohold (this is so you can take readings where you cannot hold the probes and read the display at the same time). The more you pay the more funct... | |
| Seeking Frank Zappa Tune Name Just had a look at Amazon, it is item 29 of 80 listed and the CD version is on Ryko. Reckon though you need to listen to the vinyl version for best effect, have fun, happy new year, regards, Richard. | |

| Very strange interruption, ideas? You could check the power cords and supply to the speakers first. If you lose the power to the ML's you will notice a loss of mid/high. I cannot remember if these ML's have internal fusible links to the mid/high section, but if so they should be c... | |
| Would a UPS be as good as the PS power? Hello Sugarbrie, be careful about placing multiple power conditioners, back-up power units, etc in series as you start compounding the errors and get additional power factor problems, losses and induced noise into your power line. Better to determ... | |
| Would a UPS be as good as the PS power? Not quite the same "beasts" I'm afraid. Also be careful with some types of UPS units as they can put out more of a square-wave frequency signal than a sine-wave signal and this can cause premature failure with some audio equipment. Don't wish to s... | |
