Bryston output and driver trannies, what are they?

tubenut · 9th February 2004, 07:46 AM

A friend is looking at a 4B ST amplifier, one channel has gone down. This is his first Bryston, done plenty Krell and Cello and a whole load of European amplifiers.
Anyone know what SJ6521A, SJ6522A, SJE1490C and SJE1491C are when not labelled by Bryston?
Thanks all

Sorry this is not the answer your looking for, but why wouldn't your friend just send the amp back to Bryston? They absolutely stand behind their 20 year, fully transferable warranty, and if I'm mistaken, the ST modelscame out in the 90's. That should give him 10 years or more left on his warranty.

Have you looked at this thread??
Building Bryston amps from the service manuals

My friend and I stay far from the US, he is an independant technician. He does repairs for several distributors and dealers down here.
Exactly why the Bryston has come to him we are not sure of but he is not likely to turn away his daily bread.......

As I understand it, your fiend is doing this for money - Right???

If his costumer of some reason don't want to return his Bryston amp back to the factory for repair, your friend could ask him if he may use other parts for the repair.....

It should be easy to find substitute transistors just by looking at the voltage operation area and the Bryston frequency range.
If he's afraid of mismatch sound between the channels, he can change both channels.

That may well be what ends up happening I guess. The real thing would have just been nice for consistency.

Thanks

As you can see, others have found substitutes from Motorola etc.
It's quite normal to use substitutes when components are either impossible to get or obsolete

tubenut · 10th February 2004, 09:21 AM

My friend went through the substitute process and knowing that they are made by Motorola arrived at the above types. I also got a reply on audio asylum confirming that these are the business.
Krell also uses the same output trannies btw.

Thanks all

Will post just to let you all know when the amp is up and running.
