How AI fixed my Bryston integrated’s crashing problem

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.

AI gave me the answers that Bryston tech support could not. 

Really? Who did you speak with at Bryston?

I’d rather not say. But suffice to say the amp was exhibiting a multitude of symptoms that, looked at as a whole and without ignoring anything I wrote, AI was able to help me whereas Bryston rep just ultimately said to send them the amp. They also said they would likely have it a while, like months, as they were backlogged on repairs. I now know from AI the symptoms were built in protective measures and not progressive damage. And it told me what to do to mitigate symptoms.   Humans get impatient with long descriptions whereas the AI takes in to account everything you tell it. 

And I’ll add the person I spoke to at Bryston has been there a long time, is knowledgeable as well as caring and a good listener. Have used him to troubleshoot in the past. Know and like him.
