The Bryston BP26 preamplifier offers a significant step forward in capturing the subtleties, nuances, and emotions of recorded music. All aspects of the signal flow are enhanced with lower noise and distortion figures, and higher load levels, offering a rich and vibrant audio experience.
All BP-26 series preamplifiers are housed in steel cabinets for shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference effects. Buffered inputs provide for lower distortion and improved linearity from source components. A ground plane has been incorporated in this new design to further reduce crosstalk and noise throughout the internal circuitry. The power supply (PS-3) is mounted externally to eliminate power-supply noise interference.
Each and every BP-26 C-Series preamplifier is assembled by hand and burned in for 100 hours to ensure performance for many years to come. It is backed by a Warranty — unrivalled in the industry.
Internal DAC Option
The new BP-26DA preamplifier provides a digital interface using premium quality digital to analogue converters on 2 switchable stereo SPDIF (RCA) inputs and Bryston’s fully discrete Class A operational preamplifier sections. This digital to analog option provides a state of the art upgrade path for customers wanting to improve the digital capability of their stereo CD or DVD players. Simply plug the digital out from your CD/DVD player into the Bryston BP-26DA. The quality of sound using fully discrete Class A operational amplifiers, rather than the typical IC’s, has to be heard to be believed.
