Hello everyone. I'm new today to your great forum. I have a couple of questions for John.
Hello John W:
I was on another forum when someone there mentioned that you had built an impressive line-up. I got the link, plugged it in and read this thread. And after reading your interaction with this group about your creation and explaining what you have achieved......... I want one of each please. I'm in Ontario, Canada and would have to get my unit, when they arrive, in Toronto which is about 3 hours away. I think I want the CDQ, or the MDAC, or the DQ just kidding!
1. So, I was wondering if you could talk about the quality control that you are observing in the Chinese plant and the protocol? For instance, I was looking at the Bryston company's quality control description which I've pasted below and was wondering how your plant's units quality control standards match up to their high standards. I ask this because it will not be an easy task when and if let us say a 8200 CDQ goes on the blink to just go downtown to drop it off to be fixed. It will require either sending or driving it back to Toronto, or even worse, sending it back to China. So, this is important to me.
2. Also, can you tell me the warranty that each of your units will come with? With Bryston, I believe it is 20 years. Amazing I know. And with Simaudio, it is 10 years. Also, still amazing. Both are Canadian companies. But I just might have to sacrifice an amazing warranty from companies which are right here in my own back yard, for the amazing sound that these units of yours are expected to achieve.
Thank you John for your help. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Algernon

At the point of final assembly, many manufactures immediately pack their amplifiers into boxes for shipment. However, at Bryston, there is still much more to do. Each of our fully assembled products is connected to what we call a "burn-in table." For example, during 100 hours of continuous testing, our amplifiers are monitored through a range of input cycles and thermal stress levels to duplicate a broad spectrum of operational loads. If any failures occur, we want to catch them here, before you begin using our product.
Then, and only then, are Bryston products sent to the final quality inspection area for a comprehensive and carefully documented test of all their functions. The printed results of this computer-aided analysis are actually shipped with each unit. During this intensive procedure, we reject any product that falls outside of our advertised specifications, or 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.
