Hmmm... Bryston is looking pretty good now!
I think I would look to Parts Connexion or somewhere similar to get it fixed.
Sad to say I need a new amp…
My twenty year old Mesa Tigris went up in smoke last week. It’s so thoroughly overbuilt I thought she would last forever. Lots of smoke and strong pungent odor, actually has to air the house out. I’ll call Mesa but think it’s time for a change…
The Mesa was hooked up to some Totem mites and a small REL subwoofer in my bedroom/office. So far, I’ve done some reading and have come up with some possible replacement. After my smoke out, I’m thinking solid state in the bedroom… I use a little audioengine Bluetooth receiver for my source in my office..
Exposure 2510, VanAlstine SET 120, Belles Aria and Rega Brio all sound like they would work well. Appreciate any input on these or others. Hoping to keep the cost under 2500. I listen mostly to jazz, classical music..

Don’t see the Tigris listed. Maybe it has another name?

I would buy anything but VanAlstine. I had a worse situation with them than scuba535 with Upscale. Granted this was over 20 years ago, but had a very much loved early ss amp of theirs. It went on the fritz, wouldn't power up. Called and was told that they don't work on their older products. I asked if they could send schematics that I could take to a repair shop. The answer was, no, those are proprietary. So, what I ended up with, that was once a wonderful sounding amp, was now a good door stop. This eventually ended up in the trash. Yes, I did get some grief from friends with McIntosh and Audio Research that had older gear than mine that was getting serviced when needed. I hold a grudge that lasts forever. Great sounding unit, but just enjoy it while it works. |
