Once it gets up and running I hope it will be nice. This one is beyond warranty (ie. >20 years old) and needed work. I have replaced all the electrolytics with Blackgates (except the filter caps, which are UCC supplied direclty by Bryston), updated all the power transistors to the type Bryston now uses, had several parts silver plated, checked all solder points and reset where needed, replaced most of hte signal diodes and low power transistors, replaced a few ceramic caps in the signal path with high end films and silver micas, replaced the signal wiring with pure silver solid core wire/teflon insulation, added Dynamat for chassis vibration damping, and cleaned all PCB contact points. Now if it will simply work.....
