Hi James,

Long time - hope you're well.  So how will the BP-18 differ from the BP26 & BP17? 
I will be making a purchase this year, require only an analogue pre-amp, and wonder whether I'm best served by the BP17.

Hi Kyri

Nice to hear from you - hope you too are well.

The BP-18 is really the BDA-3 DAC combined with the BP-26 preamp in one unit.

So I see the breakdown this way:

BP-26 - pure analog preamp with remote volume control only.

BP-17 - Analog and some digital inputs and full remote control combination.

BP-18 - More a digital preamp with lost of different kinds of digital inputs and 2 analog inputs.

Hi James,

Thank you very much for the clarification.  You've made my decision much easier; BP17 it is then!  The only question now is whether it will partner a pair of 7B or 28B amps.

I hope the BP6 will hang around.  It's a fantastic preamp and a great value.

tech guy and pierre
Really agree with both of you.
 I used a BP6 for years before getting a BP17c.
You'll have to pry it from my dead hands.

So will this pre also have streaming capabilities as many other manufactures have done, and is there still much of a demand for the BP-26?

Hi

No streaming capabilities internal.

The 26 still sells very well - some every week :thumb:

I think a lot of our customers still like the simplicity of a straight ahead analog preamp and just add digital functions and streaming functions using our BDP-3 Digital/Streamer/Player and our BDA-3 DAC.

That's good to hear that the BP-26 is still a good seller, it means that there are still a lot of people still interested in a very good analogue front end and 2 channel is not dead.
