No way I can beat James because I was just 0 years old.I was born in 1974. Well, it did not take so long. In October 1996 I bought a pair 7Bst and 2x 4Bst in black in same day.After few days my friend came over with the STEREOPHILE October 1996 in his hand and told me that all my amps are in this issu.here is:I sold all 4 pices and replace them with silver pair 7bsst and 2x4Bsst in June 2002
Wow - James looks dapper there...! I wish I had the entire article to read - anyone got a pdf of the the article from Stereofile.
I can't beat James's 1974. But I'm pretty close. I've been a very happy Bryston customer for just shy of 33 years.I bought my first 4B in January 1979, at which time I wrote to Bryston - a real letter, of course, not email - asking a number of questions about my new 4B. I received a helpful letter from the company's senior engineer, Chris Russell, who has since climbed to the top of the Bryston ladder. I was impressed with that kind of responsiveness then, and have kept his letter as a reminder of just how good Bryston is in terms of its customer relationships.My first 4B had a 5 year warranty on it. I discovered some years later that Bryston had extended its warranty to 20 years. And then I learned that the extension included previously purchased equipment, which meant that i had many more years of warranty coverage. More importantly, I learned that this was a company determined to earn and win the hearts and minds of its customers through excellence in equipment, integrity, and fairness - something extraodinarily rare in modern commerce.Chris's letter proved to me that Bryston would be there when I needed it, and that, together with the performance of its products, instilled in me a degree of confidence that prompted me to buy more Bryston. Altogether I own or have have owned 2 4Bs, 2 Bryston preamps, 3 7Bs, a BDA-1, and a BDP-1. And that confidence has extended to products it has distributed, but has not made - PMC speakers and a Torus C15.When a relationship with a company can last far longer than many, if not most, marriages, you can call it a match made in heaven.
