mixing audio components?
« on: 5 May 2018, 04:42 pm »
I currently have a Bryston 3BSST2 amplifier and a .5B Bryston preamplifier.  The preamp I purchased new way back in 1986 and I want to upgrade.  should I stay with Bryston preamplifiers? or are there others that match well with the Bryston amp?  I am considering either the Bryston BP26 or the BP17 cubed.  I have looked at the Balanced Audio Technology VK-233SE and this looks like a strong contender to the Bryson preamps.  I should add that I want to stay with solid state, and not go the tube route.

Thanks,

Greg

Welcome Greg.

I'd audition each at home with your gear/room.  But if you like Bryston, why not stay with the company?

Yes, I do like Bryston build quality and warenty are hard to beat.   I guess there is more synergy when staying with the same brand.

thanks,

Greg
