Vipers,

I really do wonder when you actually find time to sell anything.

Kyri

P.S - Warm them up for me please.

Am I supposed to be selling stuff, no one told me that, I thought I was just here to have fun

James,

My friend has the Musical Fidelity, and it's wonderful.  Graham Slee makes some great products.  I had one of their fabulous phono stages.
So it should be an interesting comparison.

Thanks for the heads up James, should make interesting reading, I'll simply be astonished though if any of them can hold a candle to the BHA-1.

Just agreed to be an Audeze dealer, getting my LCD2's tomorrow with the LCD3's to follow shortly once in stock

[James Tanner]

Hi Folks,

Just got my Pair of Audeze LCD 3's Headphones - giving them a workout on the BHA-1.

HI Folks,

Shot of the rear of the new BHA-1 Headphone amp which includes the pair of Male XLR Balanced outputs.  This allows you to use the BHA-1 as a 3-source stereo preamp as well as a headphone amp.

Great James, i will be interested in your observations with this phone. I have it in mind to purchase the LCD 3 from Headroom in the coming months.

Hi James,

Have tried the BHA-1 to 4BSST2 combination at a dealer (now own the BHA with the balanced outs as shown).

Great sound, was extremely tempted to buy the 4b in one go!

Only downside is that there is no mute on the poweramp.
You need to turn the device of when using the BHA as a headphone amp.

Cheers,
Bob

looking great James, can't wait for my order to arrive. Do you have an indication as to when I should expect it to get here?

Here's a picture of a pair of HD800s being driven by a BHA-1 at last weekend's Sydney AV and Hifi Show. One HD800 was connected with the stock (single-ended) cable, the other by a balanced Cardas cable. The difference between them was quite remarkable - frankly I wouldn't have believed it if someone had told me. The rep there (Syntec, who is I believe the Australian distributor for both Bryston and Sennheiser) said that the difference was largely due to the balanced connection and not the wire.

John, the balanced mode is louder than the single ended one, are you sure the single ended mode was not
as good as the balanced one.

 

[JohnR]

Hi George, yes the volume needed to be adjusted when switching headphones.

Hi, James

Please find new issue Audio Video cover with Bryston BHA-1! Review inside (chief editor was delighted!) 

More soon. We are waiting for the copy!

[SteveLim]

Hi James,

When using the BHA1 as preamp and headphones amp, doesn't the preamp outputs mute automatically when we listen via the headphones?

Are there reviews on the BHA1 as a preamp?

Thanks.

No It does not mute because the outputs on the front and rear are in parallel.  No reviews on the preamp section as it is too new but there are some in the works.

Hi James,
Any quick observations so far on the Audeze LCD3 w/ BHA?

I would say I have found my reference.

James

[mkaiser]

That's awesome James, I am ordering in a pair soon from Headroom and don't know of anyone who has experienced them so, it is good to get some positive feedback. I am currently using Sennheiser HD800 balanced into the BHA.

That's great news James. I know that I have been extremely happy with the Audeze LCD-2's. They work very well with the BDP-1, BDA-1, and BHA-1 combo!
