| Bryston and Pass preamps... I went from a BP25 to an X1. The X1 is just more detailed and finer in all areas. I feel it is best to match your preamp with your amp though. It creates synergy. If you have a Bryston amp, go with the BP25. If you're changing both, go with the X1... | |
| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak I have this and totally agree with you. Have no idea how or why this works, but it does. I haven't used it in a couple months. Glad I read your post. It has reminded me to play it. | |

| From Bryston to Pass X250.5 ? I did this exact thing about 1 1/2 years ago after having Bryston equipment for 6 years. A big, big leap up in sound with the highs more refined, bass more articulated and the lushest midrange I have ever had. One difference though. I had purchase... | |

| Bryston Power Amp users - what power cord? I've had Bryston products for years into I purchased a Pass Labs amp. Plug them straight into the wall. The best power cable I found for the big Brystons was the sidewinder gold from Shunyata. | |
| Problems with Optrix Spray I have had no problems with Optrix. CDs look shiney and do sound a bit clearer. Maybe a bad mixture. Wouldn't use it anymore if I were you. | |
| Which is more important - Interconnects or PCs? Speaker cables, interconnects, then power cables. | |
| Pop noise, B&K Ref50 s2 still have it?? I've had one about 3 weeks now and no such problems. It sounds great to me. | |
| New Foo Fighters Release Anyone? Not yet, but like you, am waiting for it. Heard the new System of a Down? | |
| Adcom GFP 750 Pre Amp & Bryston 4B STT I used this exact combination a few years ago. I thought it was very good sounding and only after spending 4 times as much did I come up with something better. You won't go wrong with the 4BST. Never tried the 14BST. |
