I’ve always admired Bryston products but rarely come across something in my budget. TMR has a used BP-26 that caught my eye. Any thoughts or opinions regarding the BP-26 as a modest system reference preamp would be greatly appreciated.
I’m looking for a neutral to warm balanced preamp that would pair reasonably well with a variety of modest streamers, DACs and power amps. What’s most important is that it not be limiting factor in sound stage reproduction (depth, width, separation).
Today I have a BlueSound Vault, Schiit Bifrost DAC and Schiit Aegir and NuPrime AMG STA power amps. Denafrips Ares, Benchmark DAC 3, Lumin U2 mini, Auralic Aries, 2.5B^3, Benchmark AHB, etc comparables are the kinds of components I can see in my future.
Thank you.
