Perfect timing James. I was looking for a new phono preamp yesterday with my guys in town here who run Needle Doctor. We were emailing back and forth and I said "I wish Bryston had one I could buy"... and apparently my wish came true!

How much for the BP-2 (MM/MC version) and the power supply?

For a low output MC are 2 or 3 components required (including the power supply)?

Is the BP2 MM/MC equivalent to BP2 MM + TF2 in terms of gain and sound quality?

Is the BP2 MM equivalent to the BP17p phono stage in terms of gain and sound quality?

Can 3 x 1/3 size components fit comfortably on a single shelf? Any pics of such a setup?

Hi James,

I think I already did, but did I tell you how stupid good the new 3 piece Bryston phono-stage is?

I’m using the TF-2(30db)/BP2-MM/PS-3 at an MSRP of 3.3K CDN between an Ortofon A65/Kronos Pro turntable/Kronos Black Beauty Tonearm/ SPSC Power supply MSRP 66K USD and the Tenor Line1/Power1 pre-amp MSRP $115K CDN.

Price-wise the Bryston is completely outclassed, making up less than 2% of the total cost of the turntable/phonostage/pre-amp and WOW, I’m am just stunned. It’s so natural yet detailed. Has tons of gain and energy yet extremely quiet. This is such a fantastic phono pre-amp regardless of price. At only $3300 and $2750 for the BP-2 MM/MC with PS-3 (which is the way I would go if I wasn’t a retailer needing a transformer (TF-2) to demo on it’s own) it’s a killer bargain.

Another job well done by the Bryston team, congrats.

Cheers,
Mark.

Hi James

Good morning, you may not remember me. I talked with you at the hifi show in Montreal.

After the show my dealer Nicolas lent me a Bryston phono transformer - MC 20 dB. I have to say that this is at least the tenth moving coil stage I have tried and this is it!

It does not sound solid state, it is precise on all bands, superb bass, excellent sound stage, no noise ( I will have to let go my reference tube phono with Rothwell MC1 SUT).

Can you tell me why you went that route vs competitor. To me the dynavector DV-20X2L cartridge is an excellent match.

I have a preamp on order.

I consider the Bryston products excellent and really hifi!
