Reliability & Suppor t

BUILT TO LAST

Bryston applies techniques and employs custom materials in our everyday construction of electronic equipment that are more typically utilized in military and aerospace industries. Our traditional adherence to proprietary parts and sophisticated construction and testing techniques prevents the unit-to-unit variability typical of mass produced product and assures that your amplifier will perform for many years without concern.

HAND ASSEMBLED WITH CARE:

All audio products we make are hand assembled and individu- ally tested by a dedicated team of Bryston employees in our own North American manufacturing facility.

UNIQUE BURN-IN PROCEDURE

Each and every Bryston audio product undergoes an extensive quality control “burn-in” procedure. Following a complete oper- ational checkout, every unit is placed on a test-bench and run for 100 hours. This extremely rigorous burn-in quickly “matures” components and weeds out any potential premature failures. The result is reliable trouble-free performance for many years.

EASY FUTURE UPGRADES

We’ve designed the SP 1.7 with a plug-in ROM chip; this allows for convenient upgrades so future software changes are quick and easy to implement. On the hardware side, our pin-to-pin compatible digital board topology facilitates upgrades to future formats or digital processing technologies. The SP 1.7’s existing DAC chips can run at sample rates up to 192kHz facilitating upgrades to accommodate future formats. It is worth noting that many manufacturers promise that their units will be upgradable for future technology. Bryston actually does it (and is doing so today, at moderate cost, for the SP 1.7’s predecessor).
