Any Love For Bryston Here?


I've been reading this forum for years but have just recently started chiming in. I never see very many posts/threads about their products. I own and have owned a few of their pieces and I honestly think that pound for pound, or $ for $ their equipment is pretty close to top notch, not to mention their "best in the business" warranty. Also their aesthetics are complement worthy. Thoughts?

mrdecibel : I should have asked this as a question. :)

Do you not find that modern amps have less cap failures than they used to, and are you comparing equally aged pieces of gear?

So many companies gear require overhauls after 20 years of us


I really don’t think this is fair. Electrolytic caps age. Caps made in the 1980’s were not nearly as good as they are now. Higher temp caps are cheaper and better, with lower inductance.

So please be sure you are comparing accordingly.

Not saying Bryston is not a quality product.

Also, if you replace them with modern caps, I think you will find they will last a lot longer than the originals.
