Hi James and folks who know!

There doesn't seem to be much information on the B60. I am interested to know few things:

1. when did SST uphrade take place and what where the differences?
2. what is the current version of B60 being sold - SST or an earlier version?
3. dpes Bryston plan on keeping it in their product line as I am sure it is outsold by other models?
4. considering B60 is built to last literally forever with through-hole components and mechanical operation of all it's control switches and potentiometers, how much does it cost to buy all 4 output transistors? I assume these are proprietary and not of-the-shelf devices.

Thank you in advance!
Cheers,
Antun

Hi Antun

1. As of the new C Series cosmetics.
2. SST
3. It still sells reasonable well so no plans to delete it.
4. Thats a Mike Pickett question - mpickett@bryston.com

This is the reason I'm jumping ship to Bryston outstanding customer service.
