Bryston 3B question

[Martin Angus]

I see the early 3B in two configurations. One has small logo near top left. The other has large centred logo. Both have chrome handles. What’s the difference inside?

Usually the large centered logo means the pro model, 1/4" input jacks vs RCA. On later models, not sure about that one, there were output level controls on the pro models as well.

If you want to be sure go to Audiocircle and ask the question on the Bryston forum. Our old contact from my retail days James Tanner is now VP of Bryston and does a great job of answering questions there.

Don't know about the difference inside but my early and original to me, small chrome handles. small logo and curly cord 3B has RCA inputs and no output level controls.
Except for a few fuses over the years, it has been absolutely trouble free. In service right this minute.

In the later series such as NRB and ST from the 80's and 90's there were no internal differences besides the inputs and the level controls. Small logo for domestic RCA in, large centered logo for Pro 1/4". I would assume that would apply to the earlier series as well and possibly more recent ones.

You can always email Bryston directly from their web site. Having said that, they will likely need a serial number to be accurate.
