| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? I once was listening with my wife. I got up out of the listening love seat, went behind the rack, swapped something she didn't see, and played the same song again. Without any descriptive prompting on my part, she proceeded to describe exactly the... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST A cheater plug is an adapter plug that had three holes on one side (for an AC cord's blades and ground pin), and two prongs on the male end (thus eliminating the ground pin and "lifting the ground"). They are usually used in homes that do not have... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST One other option. Your receiver or amp may be an ungrounded design. I'd guess it might be the receiver since I doubt Bryston would design an ungrounded amplifier. For example, I understand from John Tucker of Exemplar Audio that the Denon 2900 is ... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST I'd have to say it's your receiver. Borrow a preamp (or buy a good used one you can re-sell) and see if the buzz goes away. You can do a thread search for excellent inexpensive preamps. This question has been asked many times.Also, you can decide ... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Let's see...on one side we have Irvrobinson and Eldartford who make common scientific sense and save significant $$$ on power cords. On the other side, we have Alberporter (among others) who has years of real world experience and arguably a SOTA s... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST OK, no buzz, but hiss with only the Bryston connected is normal. Did the hiss go away when the amp is connected to the Monster? If not, it would seem the Monster doesn't provide much conditioning, but perhaps some surge protection, which might be ... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST You need to unplug the NAD and physically disconnect it from the Bryston to check for the buzz. I say this because I've done this test myself, and discovered that often the buzz will exist even when a connected component is turned off. When the co... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST Is it a loud buzz, or relatively quiet buzz? The buzz from my speakers is pretty quiet...I almost have to put my ear to the tweeter to hear it.I guess you have a digital volume control (or at least a digital reading on your NAD), give me some pers... | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. Yeah, but what happens when the 7920 ans 9920 are released? :) ...Oh, God, make it stop... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST You say you can't hear the buzzing from your listening position. How close do you have to get to the speakers to hear the buzzing, and how high do you have to turn up the volume before you hear buzzing? I hear buzzing from my speakers if I turn up... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST Install two dedicated AC lines before you spend money on a power conditioner. Both my Bryston amps had inky black backgrounds with stock cords plugged into non-dedicated outlets. You might call Bryston and see what they suggest. Their customer ser... | |
| PC for Brsyton 4B SST I have owned both 4B SST and 14B SST amps. I changed power cords to VH Audio, ErnieM DIY Belden 9amp, and TG Audio 688. I heard no difference between these aftermarket cords and the Bryston stock cord. I'd suggest sticking with the stock cord...pe... | |
| Matching Sub for NHT SuperZero XUs? I've used a SW2Pi for several years now with my SuperZero XU and the combination works very well. | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. Steve, I don't want to know... ...I just don't want to know... ...please make the upgraditis stop!!!BTW, does this mean the APL 3910 has been bettered by the Exemplar 3910? ...no...I don't want to know.... | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, I'll second both Dire Straits CDs mentioned above with my preference being "On Every Street" because IMO it's a better recording. For another rock/pop choice, I'll add Sting's "Brand New Day" or Lyle Lovett's "Joshua Judges Ruth".I'll also second ... |
