Hey all, new member - I've been eyeing the bp17 cubed for a while - but the other month I picked up a used BHA-1 FX (powered by the MPS-2) and while it works fine as a preamp right now, it got me thinking - "maybe I'm just better off going for the BP26". Any thoughts? The price would actually be about the same (maybe a bit cheaper overall for the BP26). Sure, it doesn't have some features (secondary balanced out or fixed level balanced out), but I don't know if I should kill myself worrying about that. I'm also under the impression that the signal path is summed internally for both preamps, so its not like my complete signal path from source to speaker would be balanced (of course correct me if this is inaccurate). I'm also under the impression that unless I have some real noise monsters, it may not matter.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
