| Review: Bryston 4B-ST Amplifier No offense taken whatsoever. I only had experience with 4B SST and 14B SST. The 4B SST easily drove my 89dB/6 ohm VonSchweikert VR4 SE speakers. The 4B SST had a tougher time with my 87dB/? ohm Aerial 7B speakers, and the protection circuitry woul... | |
| Power Cable for Exemplar 2900- Suggestions? If the power supply is improved as part of the mod, I'd try going straight to the wall first.I had been running my APL Denon 3910 through a Hydra and BPT 3.5 Sig, and neither made much difference in the sound...good or bad. Then, I decided to plug... | |
| Opinions, Is this better for the Members? The new system adds steps that could result in feedback never being posted, as in the case of a member (or non-member) who rarely checks email and therefore doesn't follow the required steps.Also, the new method has a chilling effect on negative f... | |
| Any experience with the Nuforce Ref 8 mono amps? Extremephono, can you be more specific about the NuForce technical support patch for the Ref 8...like a link for more info, perhaps? | |
| Review: Bryston 4B-ST Amplifier Less than rave reviews of quality and craftsmanship regarding the Bryston 4B? Q&C is Bryston's bread and butter. Depending on your budget, start with a 4B SST (~$2000 used), 4B ST (~$1500 used), 4B (~800 used). The SST series is the most refin... | |
| Review: Valve Amplification Company VAC PHI BETA Integrated 110 Tube amp $19,000 | |
| Bryston VS Musical Fidelity I have listened to both the 4B SST and 14B SST in my system. The 14B SST plays with better dynamics...especially bass...at lower volumes. Sonically, the two amps sound the same to me. | |
| Bryston VS Musical Fidelity Lrsky, in the two years we've known each other, you have owned SS or digital amps...Belles, Spectron, Gryphon, Halcro, Jungson and now the unmentionable one. Have I missed any? I know you look for tube qualities in your amps, and you write of bein... | |
| Bryston VS Musical Fidelity Lrsky, are you implying that Bryston is publishing fraudulent specs either on their own website or on the Lexicon website? If so, I'm stunned. Honestly, stunned that you would level this accusation. I'm not posting here because I am a standard bea... | |
| Bryston VS Musical Fidelity Lrsky, the Bryston amps and Lexicon amps are two different animals despite Lexicon being a Bryston OEM product. A quick look at the specs shows the Bryston amps to have better Signal to Noise ratios, double the damping factor, lower THD, and the l... | |
| Bryston VS Musical Fidelity Lrsky, thanks for the explanation. You didn't answer my question, though, about which series of Bryston amps you sold or have heard. It's generally accepted that the sound of the Bryston amps has been refined considerably from the original "B" ser... | |
| Bryston VS Musical Fidelity Larry, I would argue that perhaps your experience with the Bryston amps many years ago was with a line that is not current (ST vs. SST, and perhaps before the ST series?). Therefore, the sound of Bryston may be different than what you recall. Poss... | |
| Bryston VS Musical Fidelity I think if you're considering spending $1800 you should watch the classifieds for a used Brytson 4B SST, which you should be able to buy around $2000, or you should try a pair of NuForce Reference 8B monos ($1600/pair). The NuForce go loud without... | |
| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener I have two friends who have told me the same thing independently of one another. They each said, "Buy cheap. Buy again." The best value is often found in a product that is not the least expensive, but rather offers better performance, or longevity... |
