Hi All,
Sorry if this might have been asked before. I currently own a Bryston 1B preamp. Am I looking at a substantial upgrade if I purchase something like a BP25 ?, Love to hear which Bryston preamp you rank as being the best in order. I like having the phono stage.

I'm currently looking at a BP25/MM.
Thanks everyone.

hi, bunker!

if an analog preamp is what you are heading for then the 25 is certainly a superb choice! i have the 26 at home and i was very, very happy with the true sound this preamp is able to produce!! i would say that the technical differences (if any) between the 25 and the 26 don't make them sound absolutely different, so go for the 25 and relax

may the sound be with you!

So I have a Bryston 1B now and I've just been offered $1200 for a BP25 MM with external power supply. This Pre seems way more versatile from the 1B

Just bought the Bryston BP25P($1200), which has MM Phono. I have a Bryston 1B, but I'm reading alot about the 1B phono stage being very good,maybe better than BP25  ?
I'm also curious to reach out to Bryston and see if they still do upgrades on BP-25's.(That's what I've read online)Power supl etc.....

They can upgrade the 25 to 26 specs however you will need the MPS2 power supply.  World class pre

I think I read that the MPS2 power supply can run you around $2K ?, considering I only paid $1200 for Bp25P, might not be realistic.
Thanks for info

I'm sorry that I no longer recall how my BP-25 sounded but I can tell you that Bryston does not go backwards and the phono section in the 1B, set a new standard with an RIAA EQ curve accuracy that had been undreamed of before it came out. In 40 years I have not seen them rest on their laurels so a new model will be a better unit than what it replaced. BTW, I don't work for them so I have no reason to make anything up.

That makes perfect sense Jozsef,
Funny you had to make a disclaimer about you working for Bryston. That just confirms most of us Bryston fans, love our Brystons. We speak well of a great product, along with a great service department.
I have a 34 year old 3B, as much as I love it. I dream of something newer like a 3Bsst
Long live Bryston
