Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
I'd like to build a Double Double Helix cable.  I'll probably go with 18 awg Airlok for the hot and 16 awg mil spec from TFA for the return.  The only thing bothering me is how the hot and return can move in relation to each other.  That can't be ... 
Squashed(?) LRS
This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.  How exactly does the fabric come into contact with the panel during shipping?  Does that mean that part of the packaging was pressing against the fabric that was in turn pressing on the panel?  That d... 
sodium / tungsten / magnesium, aluminum, wire?
I believe that lead is toxic so perhaps not a good idea? Most people don't eat their stereo components. 
Is Magnepan is coming out with it's own amplifier
Not a good idea for a speaker manufacturer to put out their own amp. Other electronics manufacturers will stop recommending their speakers and may even bad mouth them. Acoustat made that mistake and look where it got them. Do you know how lo... 
Who supports Amazon in a streamer?
Yep, Bluos definitely does. 
GR Research NX-Extreme
There is a GR Research subforum on Audiocircle you may want to check out. 
ripping CD collection; need help w bootlegs (metadata)
Technically, they aren't bootlegs since the Dead and Jerry allowed taping and trading :) 
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...
