MEMO: To all Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Absolute Sound Magazine HP’s Editors’ Choice Award
February 22 2011
We are extremely pleased to announce that the Bryston 28B SST² Mono Amplifier has been awarded HP’s 2011 Editors Choice Award in the February 2011 issue of the Absolute Sound Magazine – the BDP-1 Digital Player also got a mention.
Here’s what Harry had to say:
Bryston (28BSST-2 Revision) Mono-blocks
“Until this product, the emphasis at Bryston was on reliability, not sonic excellence, thus its widespread use among audio professionals, but not the denizens of the high-end world. But now, Bryston is bringing its technical wizardry to the cutting edge. (It is, as of this writing, introducing a digital player- a stand-alone that plays back raw digital data from USB thumb-drives or hard drives that can be downloaded from the Web directly, bypassing all the computer crap that mucks up ordinary downloads, reading off nothing more than the digits in their purest form. The BDP1-1 can play back these downloaded files all the way up to 192kHz/24-bit.)
The 28B mono-block amps were the big breakthrough and have, since their introduction, gone through two updates, each providing greater purity, greater clarity (without the edge of so-called high-resolution designs), and, with the latest, the SST-2 achieving a significant retrieval of high-end “air” and ambient information, and in a much more relaxed fashion, one exhibiting more subtle dynamics, both at the micro and macro ends of the spectrum.
I say this is the most musical solid-state design I’ve heard!”
