I have a Bryston 9BST amp and am tempted to try the Custom mode on my SCD-777ES. I was just wondering if the amp could take it? Also, is it just the amp or more likely the speakers that could be damaged? I have Monitor Audio Silver 5i's (will be upgrading next year sometime after I pay off all my recent expenses..:)

FYI..have about 90 hours (SACD side) on my SCD-777ES..have heard some improvement...although it seems to be lacking openess and air...hope to hear that after 200 hours?

 The Bryston is rated out to over 100KHz...so no problem for the amp. (nt) - David S. 13:09:54 11/25/00 (0)

At ninety hours, you are just poised to enter the corridor of hell. Things will get worse before they get better. Just be patient. Easiest way through is alternate SACD/Red Book discs, put the player on repeat and let it run 24/7.

I did not hear a dramatic change to be honest. I am not sure if there was supposed to be, but I did not hear any audible differences at all. Perhaps my neighbors dog appreciates jazz now?? :)
