Comment on the Bryston. I own a Bryston BP-26 and find it to be close to that ideal of 'straight wire with gain'. I also have a bunch of other preamps. The Bryston has repeatedly surprised me with its clarity and great performance as I have upgraded other bits of gear.
TAS has finally recognized the goodness and given the Bryston BP-26 a'recommended' rating. (I am not claiming it is the ops answer. just responding to the comment about the Bryston preamp.
