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.

Mark, awaiting my HD800 & BHA every day. Will be balanced connecton between the two as well. Would be very interested in your compares between your HD800 and then the LCD-3. "End-to-end" so to speak, sound, comfort, etc. Cheers.

mmm still waiting for mine. Combo HD800/BHA1 that is. James, any info on a delivery date?

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Just got the LCD-2's in to play with on the BHA-1 at HiFi Lounge, I've had a quick listen and they sound pretty good, I'll give them a good workout later, seem pretty hard to drive to get any real volume though, looking forward to hooking up the BDA-1 and BDP-1 full time in the headphone room as the BHA-1 really does seem to respond to a balanced feed in, just waiting for the LCD-3's. HD800's and HE-6's to come in then I feel we have everything we need to offer the best headphones with the worlds best headphone amp

Hi Marius,

Mafico does have a BHA-1 on order but they have asked us to wait because they want to add more product to the shipment.

james

[Marius]

Thanks James,
That is not quite what was expected ( order was placed under the ASAP delivery, this explanation gives that whole new meaning.
Any idea how long this is going to take?

Might always add the new Bdp / Bda combo to add some product

Not much I can do from here - maybe give Mafico a ping

Hi James,

Not much you can do? I don't know, but as far as I am concerned, I ordered the bHA1, a rather substantial order, and it seems a bit odd that anyone, even  the national importer, says the customers interests are less important than theirs...? Bryston selects their local distributors, so Bryston defines its own business-policy?

I mean, where does this end? Will Mafico give green light to my order when they see fit? Might be next year or so. The price increase would justify a single shipment anyhow....
I'd hope Bryston would have their own governance in this, and take customers as the ultimate reference. I buy Bryston, because you say that is the Bryston Philosophy.

Hi James,

latest info is that it will probably arrive end of the week. Thanks for your effort and Mafico's! Pinging did the trick

If not packed yet: I need a longer connection power cable for my Bp1.5 to the MPS-2, could you drop that in the box? 1.2meter should be sufficient.

Thanks!

Hi James,

Please find attached scanned BHA-1 first polish review.
Whole review and technical description is excellent! 
Bryston is also featured in this Audio Video issue of the test HiFi Man HE-6 headphones.

AUDIO VIDEO Magazine (11/2012)





BHA-1 won "AUDIO VIDEO RECOMMENDATION"

Few translated sentences:
 
"Bryston BHA-1 is a very successful product. Even if you do not have a headset you might want to try it out as a balanced line preamp - it really has only a few worthy rivals. (...)

Three-in-one? Yeah and you need to add that all of these components are at a very high level - with the price of just one of them.

Recommendation one hundred percent!" - Filip Kulpa - chief editor.

Bryston BHA-1 Headphone Amp - Polish Review

James,

What is the output impedance for both RCA and XLR outputs? Thanks!

[James Tanner]

James,

What is the output impedance for both RCA and XLR outputs? Thanks!

About 3ohms

James

[MellowVelo]

About 3ohms

James

Thanks, James. I realized that I said RCA when in fact I meant single-ended. Of course, I'm referring to the single-ended and XLR headphone outputs, not the the new XLR preamp output. Still 3 ohms? Just making sure that we are talking about the same thing.

I will confirm with engineering for you but I do know it is very low.

Thanks, James. I appreciate you taking the time to check. This is why I love Bryston.
