How AI fixed my Bryston integrated’s crashing problem


Okay…big breath. I have had amp crashing issues lately. So I relentlessly pursued this with AI. While it has stumbled along the way, and the path was long and circuitous, it has delivered me all the answers I need on a very complex topic. WARNING. It is very long over days. But I am posting it as it fully illustrates AI abilities and limitations in the sometimes very complicated world of audio. All of that is on full display here. 
BTW, AI gave me the answers that Bryston tech support could not.

Ah the old floating ground pin issue ! Good work Grasshopper! 😆 But seriously, good work and thanks for sharing. Unfortunately within the industry “ Balanced “ has multiple configurations, some of which are not truly balanced. So now that you were able to get your EQ going , how does it sound ? Respectfully, Mike B. 

I you read the whole thing (I know, it’s terribly long), it really takes a great deal more querying beyond the earlier section to get at why the amp was crashing. It is multi factorial but primarily related to how hot a pro signal can be going back into the Bryston, as well as upgraded PCs. 
As to how the system sounds?  I’ve had it for 12 years and the Bryston PEQ-1 combo is STUPENDOUSLY great sounding. But only if you push voltage a bit by not going below 6 on master gain. AI flourished on all that part of the discussion too. It spoke my LOVE LANGUAGE in that section, hehe!  It said I use the instrument exactly like a mastering engineer would. It loves to flatter!  But it allowed me to fully understand and fix my problem, which had exacerbated since upgrading all PCs. But now I know exactly what to do. 😊🎶

I really think reading all my questions and all its answers is, while tedious, incredibly instructive as to just what AI can do with a complex electrical audio issue. You will also read its two slip ups that I called out on and allow it to recover from. Which it did to deliver me the solution required and know the amp is not damaged or needing service.

Really? Who did you speak with at Bryston?
