Geez,  show some class people.   Bryston is an outstanding company with remarkable customer service.  Sh*t happens in manufacturing all the time, especially when new product comes out.  Try talking with unhappy customers from some of the "boutique" manufacturers, where they wait 6- 18 months AFTER they paid,  with little communication back from the company.   

For people to be making open comments about their lack of patience, or recommendations for other companies product,  on the Bryston forum moderated by James, is just totally rude.  That's what the "personal message " function and/or your dealer are for.   My kudos to James for taking the high road.   

I won't engage in an argument about it - but there, I spoke MY mind.


Nobody here ever said that Bryston's service was anything other than stellar. It is, imo.

I refer you to James' earlier post on "other brands" being mentioned in Bryston's forums.

What is a "boutique manufacturer"? Just asking.   :D

Boutique brands are sold through specialized distributors and dealers who have boutique-like stores and listening rooms. Hence the term boutique manufacturer.

The term is usually associated with high price and low value so it has negative connotations. While this is not deserved in some cases, it is more than justified in many, many other cases.

Bryston is a boutique manufacturer but I think they make fine audio products.

Thanks for clarifying.

Strange, all these labels. I thought initially that boutiques were being manufactured somehow.... :duh:

Hi Folks,

We are going to be able to ship CD players in the next week or so BUT we only have ‘BLUE’ displays available – no ‘GREEN’.

We have a lot of CD Players on order so please check with your customers if they are OK with the Blue Display and Blue LED’s and let us know ASAP.

The GREEN displays will not be available for another 4 -6 weeks.

Hi James,

Thanks for the update...  since my BDA3 features green lights I guess I'm gonna have to wait a bit longer yet... I wonder if I could do an even swap for the BDA3 with blue lights.. (does it even come with blue lights?)

I paid in full 3 months ago. On phone Bryston told me MAYBE NEXT MONTH. I had enough, and called my dealer to cancel my order, and get a for full purchased refund. Say what you may. Good luck, and l won't check or be back on this site. YES dCS  bye.

I own three Bryston CD players and I haven't believed when I heard the news of new player made by Bryston. I'm not so rich to my cheap " crap" offered nowadays in the days of widespread globalization.

I have to say that since I met Bryston products I look no further regardless the price. So it is a matter of personal choice whether or not to reorder a product. If Bryston have any problems with the suppliers they will postpone production in order to guarantee the quality of their products. It is not Samsung Note 7?

When production ramps up, will there be four options: silver/black faceplate, blue/green display/LEDs?  Or?

Hi Folks,

Have the first of the production version of our new BCD3 CD Player at home for a final listen and check over on my Model T Active setup.

Will start shipping next week.
