Any Love For Bryston Here?

So many companies gear require overhauls after 20 years of us ( I do not want to name names, as this can easily be researched ). Bryston, is one of those companies, who’s equipment can still meet factory spec, and could sound the same, as the day it left the factory. This has been my experience with Bryston gear, and this says a lot. The 20 year, transferable warranty backs this up. Back in the day, I owned a 4B, with the Bryston electronic crossover, to run a pair of Janis sub bass systems ( John, of Janis, did not use the term subwoofer ), with exemplary sq. Only the pair of Janis was run with the amp / crossover, as I felt a bit of hardness and dryness above the crossover point, to the speakers. I suppose I could live with Bryston, but with amplifiers such as Pass, and Modwright ( as a few examples ), which " I " prefer on an sq basis, I still feel the Bryston equipment is fantastic, and would outlive, those other brands I mentioned ( simply an opinion, not factual ), and many more. Nothing wrong with over ten year old Bryston pieces, as they are more affordable than the new stuff, and, for the reasons I mentioned above.

Eric, my statement was based on my experience with many " class A ss amps I owned, or installed for clients. Also, ime, many tube products, both amp and preamp categories. Not all class A, btw. Not to mention, the products of many companies, that are no longer in business. Again, this is based on " my " experience. I am not sure how many different pieces of equipment you have had through your doors, or how many hours, weeks or months, you have had to spend with products, to actually know what I am saying. Speakers as well. Is my statement fair ? I know others that have experienced the same, as I. Have a good day, my friend. Enjoy ! MrD.

Eric, I am not only speaking of the storage cap failures, although, there were a number of poor quality caps that I have seen, as well as excellent caps. Many older pieces of gear, with newer components, re soldering of circuit traces, etc. ( complete rebuilds ) would surprise you, as amp design, for what it is today, is not significantly superior today, as opposed to yesterday. Good technicians today ( some I know ) are extremely busy, as re builds are an excellent alternative of  many, as opposed to purchasing a newer product. I hope I answered your inquiry. Best, MrD.
