  Good move James. IMO SS phono stages are the best. Low distortion basically zero noise offering a dead quite black background. Bryston circuitry now in a phono stage as a separate component oh my !!
   Do I need a bakery ticket or just stand on line ? Kudos James you never disappoint.

James - what is the actual MM phono overload spec ? IOW -how many mV before the input is overdriven into distortion ?

How old of a design is the internal phono board for the B135? how does it compare to this new external unit?

Hi

It's a new design - same as the one in our new 1/3rd phono stages.

That's good to know, saves having extra cables and power supplies.

Is the phono board like the IAD? can it be ordered from you guys and fit by the end user, looking at photos it seems like a board that just slots in?

Yes it is a board that slots in - it is MM only not MC capable.

Question for JT, I have an older BP26, about 10 years old, with the MM-MC stage built into it. My question is, are there any upgrades to the phono section that can be done at the factory.

Hi Barry

Yes I believe so - we are using some new MC transformers which with a bracket change can be fitted into the BP-26 - I can ask Mike if you are interested.

Yes I am interested, be. If because I love my BP-26, if Bryston ever made another pre at that level of competence and great sounding I would buy it in a heart beat.

Hi

I do not think so as we just designed them a few months ago.

Hi James,

I think I already did, but did I tell you how stupid good the new 3 piece Bryston phono-stage is?



I’m using the TF-2(30db)/BP2-MM/PS-3 at an MSRP of 3.3K CDN between an Ortofon A65/Kronos Pro turntable/Kronos Black Beauty Tonearm/ SPSC Power supply MSRP 66K USD and the Tenor Line1/Power1 pre-amp MSRP $115K CDN.

Price-wise the Bryston is completely outclassed, making up less than 2% of the total cost of the turntable/phonostage/pre-amp and WOW, I’m am just stunned. It’s so natural yet detailed. Has tons of gain and energy yet extremely quiet. This is such a fantastic phono pre-amp regardless of price. At only $3300 and $2750 for the BP-2 MM/MC with PS-3 (which is the way I would go if I wasn’t a retailer needing a transformer (TF-2) to demo on it’s own) it’s a killer bargain.

Another job well done by the Bryston team, congrats.

Cheers,

Mark.

Hi James

Good morning, you may not remember me.  I talked with you at the hifi show in Montreal.

After the show my dealer Nicolas lent me a Bryston phono transformer -  MC 20 dB. I have to say that this is at least the tenth moving coil stage I have tried and this is it!

It does not sound solid state, it is precise on all bands, superb bass, excellent sound stage, no  noise ( I will have to let go my reference tube phono with Rothwell MC1 SUT). 

Can you tell me why you went that route vs competitor. To me the dynavector DV-20X2L  cartridge is an excellent match.

I have a preamp on order.

I consider the Bryston products excellent and really hifi!

Hi James,

Is the BP26 internal MM section the same as the outboard BP2 MM?  Just curious, are you no longer offering the internal sections on the BP26 as I don't see them on the website??

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Yes you can still order the Phono stage internal with the BD-26.  Yes they are the same phono stage.
