I once picked up a used Bryston .5B preamp for $300. Because it was 18 years old, it was still under warranty. So when it developed a problem in the phono section, I shipped it off to Bryston. Just a few weeks later, they fixed it at no charge, gave me a new power cord, new shipping box AND paid the return shipping.
It was a fine preamp. I replaced it with a VTA tube preamp which I love. There wasn't anything wrong with the Bryston. I just wanted to go from solid state to tubes.
