James;

In another topic a few weeks back you indicated that price increases were in the works starting April 1.  If memory serves me they were as much as 8% depending upon the component.  What are the increases for the B 100 and related options?

Thanks

Thank you sir.

Good question.............James Why doesent Bryston have a "Trade in/up program"?.........i seem to recall Mcintosh offering a Trade-up promo a few mths back..........Will Bryston ever do it or>?

[James Tanner]

Its very difficult for a manufacturer to offer a trade in program - at least this one. Where do you sell the trade-ins - what do you charge the customer - what about your dealers and distributors etc.
I know some companies do when they have excess stock of some products.

I suspect that many manufacturers who have a trade-in program take that program into account when pricing new products.  The may out with a $5k amp and knowing there will be a given amount of trade-ins increase the retail to $6k to account for that they expect in the way of trade-ins (i.e. if they are giving a trade-in at 25% of the price of a new amp).

James;

You could clear up some confusion for me. Am I correct in saying that the MM and DAC for the B100 is "user" installable or would it have to back to service.

[James Tanner]

It can be installed later but you have to remove the top cover.

Does my removing the top cover invalidate the warranty?

[James Tanner]

YES

Does getting peanut butter in it invalidate my warranty?

Quote from Bryston Service - "With the B100 the Dac or Phono board can be installed by the end user capable of using simple tools". 

I knew there was a catch to this!

Depends upon if it's Creamy or Chunky!
