    An excellent podcast, as usual. I would like to point out that some manufacturers will support their old equipment. Bryston has a “Back to the Future” program, with different tiers. I have a couple of late 80s Bryston 3B amplifiers which I submitted to the program. Under the tier I chose, they completely overhaul the internals and bring it back to like new spec. There is a pricier tier where they also restore it cosmetically. It took about 3 months and the price includes shipping both ways (these are heavy). A few years earlier I had them rebuild my 10B crossover.

      Jim,

      We’ve actually covered the Bryston program. It makes a lot of sense and it was a smart move by the new ownership.

      Best,

      Ian White
