Any price increases on a 4b sst2 amp? Thanks. :weights:

HI,

There was a price increase on April 1st - nothing in the near future I am aware of assuming currency exchanges stay relatively neutral.

Hi Robert,

INPUT CAPACITOR CHANGE and FEEDBACK CAPACITOR CHANGE:
We have implemented the use of some very specialized capacitors in a number of key areas in the circuitry.  There is a consistent improvement at high frequencies near and  above 20K, and up to over 60KHz. These specialized capacitors are installed at both the input stage and the feedback loop of the amplifier circuitry.  These capacitor changes affect all new SST² amplifiers.

The upgrade is only available for ‘SST²’ amplifiers ‘NOT SST’ or previous models.
                       
At Bryston we are continually trying to improve the performance of our products. Please be aware that these changes are 'evolutionary' not 'revolutionary' in nature. They will provide subtle to noticeable improvements depending on your specific system and setup.

Feed back on capacitor up grade.
1)Mids and lows very happy seems like the new capacitors have or need less volume.
2)Bass is smooth with more detail.
3)Highs are clean rich with more detail.
4)Separation of the instruments is more profound much more detail.
5) Yes James I hear a Difference Thank you
Robert

Can these new capacitors be installed in the PMC AML 1 amp modules?

What's the price for the upgrade on the 4B?  I have been needing to send mine in for some DC on power down (snapping in speakers) and should take care of this at the same time.

Dave,

the used market (for example Audiogon) offers a lot of good Bryston stuff. talking about Bryston then you guys are much luckier with "2nd hand" equipment than we are here overseas...

I see. Thanks for the info. Not too crazy about buying used, though.
