Keep my 1996 bryston 4B or get a new 4B
Plus 1 for sending it back to Bryston for a look see.  I’m sure replacing the bits that should be replaced will be a lot less than $8500 and your sound should be improved.  Maybe there’s an update/upgrade they can do as well? All the best.

@ghosthouse  check your library for The Penguin Guide To Jazz recordings.  It’s 1300 pages of Jazz musicians and groups. If it’s not at your library, it is on Amazon.  I can’t say I have found a better book on Jazz people. The Penguin Guide to J...

@ghosthouse  I love our library system here. They have an amazing amount of Jazz between all the branches that I can order on the app and go pick up CD’s and DVD’s when they come to my branch.

1971, the year the music died? I don’t agree, but by the late seventies it had changed quite a bit. Don’t cha just still miss Disco😆😆😆  
Why isn't better quality used gear being made available?
A month ago there was PS Audio BHK 300 amps on every site.  And today there are none that I can find.  I’m not sure what you are looking for, but you have to just keep looking. All the best.

@dpm2340  If you like the magic sound of Magico speakers, why not look at moving up the chain to the A5 or the S3?   All the best.

Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer?

As I’ve said before, Bill Evans is in my top five pianists and that’s in all genres.
