The "PRO" is the "SST" non C series that I talk about.

It is correct that the PRO only comes in 19 inch wide.

BUT you could have the 17 inch SST 3 piece front and mix black / silver......

I believe the SSTC and SST have the same chassis - I dont know about the SST2 series

Thanx Mad H

Which one of us is gonna get the multi colour (color!) fronts first

I think they would look spectacular and i wish Bryston would make such stuff available as an option. I would like diagonally halved on my 4bSQ. But i would  want to make sure that finish is identical to what the Bryston puts out on both black and silver if it was a aftermarket mod.

James,

Does Bryston machine these parts "in house?"

Thanks...

Hi Andy,

The faceplate prices differ but generally preamps are about $100 , the knobs another $100 and small power amps $200, the large poweramps $300 and a set of handles $100.

No - we get them from our metal supplier.

Hi james

So do the faceplates come unfinished to you or do they do the black or silver finish?

We order them in Black or Silver as they are anodized accordingly.

Hi James

thats interesting, so do you think you could ask them to anodize the same faceplate in two different finishes. Have you ever done this before on a faceplate? Maybe its something you dont want to get into?

You can only anodize in one colour.

So do mods on faceplates void warranties?

Not unless the 'mod' negatively affects a component which in turn causes that component to fail.

Silver is out. Black is in again.

Silver is really nice too, i guess it really depends on how it looks against everything else and personal taste. I think with the handles on silver looks more militant, which is nice.

I'd like to see one totally polished aluminum or maybe just polished aluminum handles

I prefer black components for home theatre and aluminium finish for strictly 2 channel use.  I like to keep my equipment nice and clean, but it seems you can really notice black components that are not properly cleaned - you see a lot of the "white smudgy fingerprints all over them."

well said. Don't forget dust.

Smudgey, fingerprinty,dusty components are a sign of a true audiophile.

Dandruff is my favorite.

The dust I use I have only found for sale in one hi fi shop in the UK.

Its specially designed to reduce RFI emission and best used on top of amplifiers.

It was really tricky to apply and took me several attempts to get right. I found the best way was to remove the top and place selotape under all the air vents, then sprinkle the dust evenly over the top, The container has a herb style sprinkle top to ease application. then remove the selotape, this removes the dust over the air vents and allows correct airflow. replace top.

The shop owner said they had run out of the powdered hens teeth which they suggest you use on Magna Planar speakers.
