James, I'm confused by the paragraph on the first page of the brochure about changing a single ended 1/4" plug. Clearly there is a jack for such a plug on the BHA-1, which means I suppose you could use a 1/4" plug. So I'm wondering what this paragraph is telling readers. Under what circumstances would users need to, or want to, use the "remedy" of changing such a jack or getting an adapter for a headphone?

Hi Dave,

If the headphone cable has 4 conductors then we can modify the cable from a 1/4 inch phone plug to a Balanced XLR 4 pin or left/right stereo XLR 3 pin connector.

Hi James,
Have you figured out a cost for the powered and non-powered yet?
Has Bryston started manufacturing the BHA.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark

Yes- $1295 suggested list US for the internal power supply version as an introductory offer. Still working on the non powered supply version but should be about $1100.

Great, thanks JT.... I can hardly wait to get it

Hi James,

Would the powered version be power-bypassable?

I have the Bp1.5 so dont need the powered version, but would like it to be futureproof, and as versatile as possible. Might well be I 'd use it in another setup, where the Bp1.5 is not around...

I do not think so as the backboards are different but you could change the backboard and install the transformer - I will ask engineering.

HI James,

Ok please do. Great.
Would have hoped for a universal backboard, with the BHA having a powersource installed, and an extra connection for the external BP1.5. If plugged in, use the external Bp1.5, if not plugged in use the internal powersource.

It's no price concern, just a matter of universal flexibility.
Hope to hear from the engineers..

and of course still waiting for an answer about the tapeloop pass-through too.

No tape loop pass-through.

No, I meant your suggestion of using the seconde out's on the bp26 and modify those .

Yes that can be done but not by the customer of course.

Hi James,

I'm just about to order a BP-1.5 to go with my SP3, now I've got the ordering bug again and am wondering if it is possible to order a BHA-1 yet for the UK? and if so, how much for the non power supply version?

Thanks,

Hi Vipers,

You would have to check with PMC on the pricing - in Canada the non-transformer version is $200 less. We have run into some metal work issues so we are still about 3-4 weeks away from release.

Chances are that if you fly to Toronto, rent a car to drive to Petersborough, shake James's hand, load the boxes into the trunk and fly back to the UK you will be a lot cheaper off than when buying it through PMC...
