Bryston?

With the 25% tariff on Canadian goods due to hit tomorrow ...

Time is on your side. It was just a political proposal and hasn't yet been enacted. Because Canada is such a huge US trading partner it's possible that it the tariff will never be enacted.

Wish I too had a vintage tuner -- that still worked or could be repaired!

Many of the first class vintage tuners are completely serviceable. My McIntosh MR80 is still going strong after all these years, although it benefits from a little attention every 10 years or so. The challenge is finding a tech qualified and equipped to align these tuners. It's a specialty, rather like servicing reel-to-reels.

Had no luck scoring the Magnum Dynalab model I wanted, so gave up on that ...

Really? What model interested you? What dealer was unable to obtain one for you? What tuner did you buy instead of the Magnum Dynalab?

Thanks to all for the updates on Bryston. Sounds like they are still doing, or trying to do, what they always did, but with rarely anything new to talk about.

They've introduced a new preamplifier, a whole new line of Class D amplifiers, new speakers, and have taken over production of the excellent Magnum Dynalab tuners. At the same time, they are supporting its large installed base of components - I've had excellent service on my vintage 4B, and the little hiccup my BDP-3 player encountered last year was swiftly resolved remotely, unlike the "support" I got from Aurender.
