BRYSTON WARRANTY
In a world where most things seem to need frequent
upgrading, repair, or replacement, how can Bryston offer
a comprehensive, unconditional, and fully transferable
warranty on every audio product we make?
The answer would quickly become apparent if you were
to tour Bryston’s plant in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.
State-of-the-art design facilities, with the latest CAD and
circuit simulation software, and an inventory of some of the
best and most reliable parts on the planet, combine with
a manufacturing philosophy that eschews the artifacts of
mass production — robots, moving assembly lines, and,
frankly, shortcuts. Every Bryston audio component is
handcrafted by people who take great pride in building the
very best. Starting with a bare circuit board, for example,
each component is hand selected and installed, every wire
is cut and bent by hand, every connection is hand soldered.
On average, it takes thirty to thirty-five person-hours to
assemble a single Bryston product. Is this just some romantic
19th-century notion of the artisan-craftsman, or is there a
real benefit to you, the consumer? There is. Take the hand
soldering, for example. We could do the job much faster by
employing wave-soldering machines as many companies
do. But that would mean exposing the entire circuit board
to a molten-metal bath, a source of extreme heat shock
that could result in long-term reliability problems.
We don’t skimp on testing or rush our products through
some last-minute go/no-go check; at every stage individual
parts, completed circuit-boards, sub-assemblies, and
final assemblies are all put through rigorous inspection
and testing procedures. When completed, every Bryston
amplifier receives a comprehensive and carefully
documented test of all its functions, and the printed
results of this computer-aided analysis are actually
packed and shipped with each unit. During this intensive
procedure, we not only reject any product that falls
outside of our advertised specifications, but also any not
meeting an even narrower band of specifications that we
use for internal testing. As a result, you can expect each
Bryston product to perform as least twice as well as the
advertised specifications.
Our 20-year amplifier warranty and 5-year digital circuit
warranty drives us in a different direction from the
typical manufacturer. We consider a Bryston product to
be a mutual investment: by you, in an amplifier of lasting
quality, and by us, in that we invest in the quality of the
product in order to be secure in offering our warranty. It
simply makes good economic sense to produce the very
best products we can.
