With the 25% tariff on Canadian goods due to hit tomorrow, some of us looking at MD may be confined to the used market. Wish I too had a vintage tuner -- that still worked or could be repaired!

Time is on your side. It was just a political proposal and hasn't yet been enacted. Because Canada is such a huge US trading partner it's possible that it the tariff will never be enacted.
Many of the first class vintage tuners are completely serviceable. My McIntosh MR80 is still going strong after all these years, although it benefits from a little attention every 10 years or so. The challenge is finding a tech qualified and equipped to align these tuners. It's a specialty, rather like servicing reel-to-reels. |

I just purchased the following Bryston products: 1.Bryston 4B3 cubed power amplifier which puts out 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 500 per channel into 4 ohms. I've had this amp for 4 months and am enjoying it very much. I am driving the Martin Logan 11A Impressions. The sound is powerful and clean. 2. Bryston BP-19-preamplifier. The preamp is very clean sounding and does not add any unwanted sound to my set up. The preamp is dead silent. I've had this for two months and am happy with my purchase.
