It looks like you're squeezed into a converted hotel room? The acoustics must be challenging with the wall of solid headboards on the right.

HI

It is challenging but the advantage with our speakers with their very wide and even 'Sound Power' rooms like this are not as much an issue.  We will see what people have to say.

Best Q and A at the show:

Q: "How long does your amp need to break in?"

A: "We burn them for 100 hours at the factory so they hardly need any afterward!"

Kudos.

Mini T's the way to go. I have mine for over a year now.  :D

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: RMAF Show 2016 – Bryston Demo


October 2016

RMAF 2016 Bryston

I was happy to return to the Bryston room once they had the new turntable setup and playing!

The new BLP-1 turntable developed with GoldNote in Italy, along with the BTP-1 power supply sounded great.

The belt-driven BLP-1 features a titanium tonearm and 35mm thick Delrin® platter.




Adding on to Piero's Bryston post, here are a few more pictures of the Bryston Mini T loudspeakers and the associated Bryston equipment.

It was indeed one of the better sounding rooms of the show.

Also making an appearance was Bryston's new BLP-1 Turntable.

James, quick question. One of the audio web sites posted the info sheet regarding the equipment set up in the room, and I noticed it was wired with StraightWire cables. I'm curious if you normally used cables from a third party instead of Bryston's own for these shows.

Thanks.

HI

It depends on the show - generally I use our cables but if we share a room - which we did with StraightWire at RMAF - we use their cables.

Bryston makes everything now.

They used to make just amplifiers and preamplifiers, designed by Stewart Taylor.

Now they make loudspeakers and even a turntable. (Is it just my imagination or are there currently more types and manufacturers of turntables than CD players or music servers? Hmmmm?)

Bryston amps have always looked good, but now they have this smooth-to-the-fingers and -eye attractiveness that you can almost feel while you are looking at them.

On display and sounding very nice at RMAF were the 7B3 mono amplifiers, the BP-26 preamp, and the Bryston Mini T loudspeakers, all sourced by a Bryston BDP-2 digital player, a BDA-3 DAC, and (surprise!) ...

Bryston's new BLP-1 turntable and BP2-MM/MC phono preamplifier.

Speaker stands were by Target, cables by Straightwire.
