Are active speakers worth it now?
Hi, Bryston has speakers that are set up for external crossovers. They have an electronic crossover and amplifiers to match. Best upgrade I ever did! And for my PCs, I've been using Genelec's for years. Every once in awhile you see someone selli...

Experience with Inline Ground Loop Eliminators?
Hi, I agree to avoid ground loop eliminators. Make sure any cable TV or antenna connections are grounded at your power strip/source. One thing you might try is having all your components connected to the same grounded power  strip/source, and m... 
Preamp Upgrade Advice
Hi baldassinia, I highly recommend Bryston! I have gone through a few preamps over the years, and now have two BR-20's in two systems I have. When I did comparison tests, I was blown away by the BR-20's sound and silent background. The BR-20 ha...

Hi ekohn00, My pleasure, glad you found it useful. I have not heard the Class4 Bryston's, and would be afraid to. Their upgrades are usually significant, and that would cause another buying spree.... Happy Listening!

Hi ekohn00 again, Just to clarify, I suggested avoiding #5 because of the risk from your wife. However, I know from experience that an upgrade to the Cubed series of Bryston amps is significant, and worth considering if you can get permission on...

Hi ekohn00, I would avoid your #3-5, and absolutely agree that Gary Dayton at Coherent Source Service would be a great person for an outside option. Regarding #2, how loud is the pop? If it's not very loud you probably have nothing to worry abou...

Has anybody never been able to solve a hum static problem with a phono pre amp?
Make sure all your power cords are the same length, and connected to the same power source (power strip or power conditioner) which has a good ground. A single point of ground is essential. If you have cable TV, make sure your cable is also grou... 
Recommend The Best No Frills Preamp up to $5K.
There are tons of preamps, so you are probably overwhelmed with recommendations. My suggestion is to audition the Bryston BP-19. It is the acclaimed analog circuitry from the BR-20, but minus all the digital sections. There are online dealers tha...
