Hey, thanks for your info, Actually I have auditioned 14B SST but do not find it better than 14B ST overall. The bass clarity of 14 BSST is worse than 14 B ST. Perhaps this is the drawback of high power amp. Even for Krell FPB600, it is still rough and bass booming.

So, I need to hear some comments about the 14 B SST C, which is at the top of the series.

Hi ykchan,

Why don't you go to have an audition of 14B SST C? But I'm afraid the result is the same as 14B SST. According to James Tanner, the "C-Series is the same as the Consumer versions of the SST Series other than cosmetics." ( http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=25038.msg222258#msg222258 )

If the C series is same as the SST series, they should be priced at the same level. But this is NOT the fact. I believe there must be some improvement in the C series, though it may be marginal. In the high end world, it can be very expensive to have "marginal" improvement. Even there is only chsnge in the cosmetics, even a change in chasis design or the internal layout will make a difference in the performance. I haven't yet seen a 14B SST C for auditioning.

Um... I think the increased price of 14B SST C Series may reflect its improvement over its predecessor. But maybe not. Anyone can price the same thing in different guises differently. I hope you can let us know their non-cosmetic difference (if any) soon.

To me, the obvious cosmetic difference is not an improvement. I like the old bold tough look more. :P

The change in outlook is important to Bryston, they want to change the image, from mid price product to high price product. Would you spend 40k-50k for a bold tough look amp?

That's partly true, I think. But when 14B ST with its bold and tough look was just released in the market, its retail price abroad is around HK$70k... Anyway, appearance is important in the so-called High End market. The equipment has to look luxurious and weighty in order to attract deep pockets. :P

So far only 3 people have written in this club. I'm wondering whether there are so few of Bryston users or so few of Bryston users who are willing to share their experiences with the other users... :P

Where I can buy a screwdriver that can drive the screws (with square-shaped tip) of the Bryston products. I know the green Robertson screwdriver can do but I don't know where I can get one. :(

Hi mikelee,

Are you the same person who sold the BP-25 pre-amp to me few weeks ago?. I sold the pre-amp to a nice gentleman at the same price after a modification. It was a good amplifier.

The square hole screws are pretty much a Canadian special. I have never seen them in HK or used anywhere else outside of Canada. Most likely you have to ask someone from Canada to bring/mail you one.

Make your own screwdriver -- "trim" a bigger size hexagon key with a grinder

Using 4BSST pushing PMC FB1. This amp has a lot of power and drive FB1 with ease. Somebody said it sounds rough but I really do not agree. One can easily tune the sound he likes by cables. Great powerful amp!

1000% agree with gallant hing! What gallant hing said reveals that he has golden ears and is a real user of Bryston 4B SST. I am telling you, I have used many many amps that are far more expensive than 4B SST but I am still surprised by the super quality of 4B SST, it can even beat some famous tube amps - actually I seldom tell this to others because it is just UNBELIEVABLE, if you have golden ears.

besides power, Bryston also has very high damping factor which can control speaker driver very well. From manual, it claimed that it is over 500 at 20Hz but actually it should be over 700 from graph.

Why the damping factor of 14B-SST (>300) is even lower than 4B-SST?

Right! In terms of specs, Bryston amps are hard to beat. Their damping factor is indeed outstanding. Just listen to how their amps control the bass. How could one not be easily amazed? Also, don't forget their noise floor. Their specs are truly the result of brilliant design and engineering. No kidding! :)

To be frank and not to be offensive to the other amp supporters, I think Bryston sounds closer to neutral and flatter than Mark Levinson and Krell. That's why I've said Bryston is good for people who look for neutral sound with flat response in the overall frequency spectrum.

Definitely. Who else is offering a 10 years warranty and can still support a close to 20 years old product (I used to have a Bryston amp bought many years ago). Then again, they also designed their products to be used in professional applications, which require high reliability and long-lived products that can stand up to all kinds of abuse.

>I think Bryston sounds closer to neutral and flatter than Mark Levinson and Krell. That's why I've said Bryston is good for people who look for neutral sound with flat response in the overall frequency spectrum.

From what I gathered, the neutrality of Bryston products is the exact reason why they are not popular in HK (or received all kind of not-too-well-deserved criticisms). I found that many HK audiophiles actually preferred colored sound as evidence by their forever searching of cables to "tune" the sound of their system.

mike,
thanks for your words and photos. I am one of them who love natural sound. Actually I think the majority of audiophiles in the world love cloured sound, except perhaps those working in studios.
