Bryston 14B ST vs 14B SST?
I realize that this is a very old thread, but if anyone is researching the differences between the 14B ST and the 14B SST, you will find the following link interesting.  Apparently, there is a difference between the two amps.http://www.audiocircle... 
Will this hold my 63 pound black beauty??!!
Uh, you forgot to add the weight of the stand itself. Nice try, though. 16 pounds on each foot of the amp, you numbskull.  Nice try, though. 
Upgrade phenomenon
I don't think the first two posters understood the question.  It sounds like you did actually change something (speaker placement).  That might be responsible for the improvement you hear. 
Will this hold my 63 pound black beauty??!!
64 pounds is nothing. If the amp has 4 feet, that’s only 16 pounds on each foot. You’ll be fine. And before someone jumps on me and says that the feet under the transformers will have more weight on them, it will still be fine. It will not be enou... 
Border Patrol DAC - difference in models
I'm not sure, but I would email or call Gary and ask him if I were you.  He's very responsive to emails and answers the phone if you call.  He's a really nice guy and extremely helpful and will answer any questions you have.  I have an SE and love... 
fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed
This site is so highly censored.  There are so many other audio forums out there... 
A cable routing reminder
Yes but didn't you know, supporting cables cannot possibly make any difference. But in this case, it sounds like the support was to keep the IC away from the power cord, so it did make a difference. 
Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers
The Allo Digione Signature is cheaper than a Node and is supposed to be better than much more expensive streamers.  You might want to look into them.  They are soon coming out with a battery power add on that charges the batteries during a user-sp... 
Bluos and youtube music
But, if you have a computer, then you would simply connect the computer to the Node and listen away. How exactly do you connect the computer to the Node?  I didn't think it was possible. 
CD Player vs. music streaming
Ketchup are you incredulous that an Auralic or Aurender server is besting the Node? LOL, no.  Why would you think that?  I simply had a few specific questions for mgrif104 that myself and others would probably like to have the answers to.  This ... 
CD Player vs. music streaming
While I don’t have experience with Innuos server/streamers, I do with Aurender and Auralic as I own units from both companies and have been able to do A/B comparisons against the Node 2.  No contest.@mgrif104 Did you use the same DAC when compar... 
Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time
This guy is a trip.  He sums up what happened after Jim died pretty well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXbPAwnLccY  
Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time
Thiel was gone long ago.  The company that existed after Jim's death had nothing in common with the real Thiel except for the name.  Now that was sad.  This liquidation is not surprising at all considering how they completely screwed up the brand. 
Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components
I only have one question here.Why the heck does EVERY statement Clearthink makes have to be in multiples of three for the adjectives?Is one or two not sufficient to get the point across?Seriously it is REALLY annoying and does detract from any po...

Switching the crossovers will tell you if it's a crossover or driver problem.
