For Sale --- Pair of Bryston 7B ST Monoblocks

[ksrigg]

I'm selling my Bryston 7B ST monoblocks. These have the 19" Black Face Model with rack handles. In really fantastic cosmetic and sonic condition. The only spot I see is on the top rear left of the chassis of one of the amps. Looks like someone stacked something on this amp at some point in time. They are consecutively numbered and I am (I think) the second owner. I bought them about 8 years ago for around 6 grand. I am asking 3 grand plus shipping....Thes will go on eBay in about a week if no one here has an interest in them. Since this is Phoenix, I'll reduce the price by 10%....or $2,700.00 for the pair. That is a BARGAIN..Thes amps still have 8 years of factory warranty left...If you buy them and are not happy with them, I'll refund your money, but you pay the shipping back to me, and any PayPal fees that might be lost by me...

I'll try to put some photos up later....

Oh yeah....the reason for selling is Phase Linear, and I just have too much stuff....way too much stuff. But this is the nicest stuff I have ever owned...probably the finest audio amps I have ever owned, and I've owned a bunch...

I just missed out on a pair for $300, albeit re-badged as the Sonics 800x (IMAX)
Wouldn't that just give ya the sh*ts?
Yes.....

Whatever happened to that LOTTERY we were having?

Whatever happened to that LOTTERY we were having?

To quote " a very nice gentleman out of South Carolina", won it.
.... but, I've just been offered another lot of THREE pairs (yes, SIX of the buggers, BUT the 7B model rebadged as Sonics 800x, by IMAX), for a ridiculously cheap amount of money.
Damn, the things that happen when you're stone cold broke.

The 7B is a beast, should check out around 900 a channel, and they are monoblocs if i remember correctly. About 3,000 each in thge ST version.Used.

BOUGHT.

The only thing they DON'T have going for them, is that they DON'T have the Bryston 7B (?) on the faceplate.
What they do have is Sonics 800X, BUT, I am led to believe they are the same amp just re-badged for IMAX use.
I'll get around to posting pix in the near future. It's gonna take a bit of effort to pick 'em up, but they're not going anywhere now.....

 

[pennysdad]

So, is it a 7B or not?
THAT is the question....

Feed it a sinewave and slap a voltmeter on it, if it's 50 volts or under a 4B 60 and over a 7B. Sutton is more familiar with the 7B. Check Brystons website for a schematic, easy to find em BD.

Can you tell by just licking the terminals like you do with 9V batteries?

We had a karaoke jockey that did that with the wireless mics!

I made the silly mistake of trying to strip the 45V wire on the phone line with my TEETH once to install a dollar store modular jack block.

Heh heh heh..... I did that once too, but just as someone rang me! LoL....

That reminds me (oh oh, here he goes again), of the time I had to monkey up a telegraph pole to re-secure a 110V "Trickle Charge" line (at the very top of the pole, above the signal wires, and I had this 18" long piece of wire in my mouth to tie the spindle back in, but when I got to the top and wrapped the body belt round the pole, just as I secured the buckle, the 110V line swung over and touched the wire. Now THAT was about as memorable as it gets.
Although I do remember fusing out a 3 phase power box once with a screwdriver, but I'll save that one for another time.....

I've had quite a few "events" with 480 3 phase...

I remember rigging up a spare car coil and a 9v transistor battery to spring some life into some drunk sleeping college buddies a few times. You run one wire to one foot and the other wire to the other foot and them momentarily collapse the coils field. Needless to say the defibrillated springs to life rather quickly. Unfortunately or fortunately his voice never lowered again.

Didn't Aunt Esther always say, Fred Sanford, the devil will get you for that, or something?
