Default Bryston bit/torus
HI Folks

Here is a review on the Torus unit but it is identical to our Bryston BIT units.

Torus AVR 20 AC Conditioner

Hi James... received the BIT-15 yesterday. Thanks for such prompt delivery.

Just installed it about an hour ago. Very impressive improvement - especially in regard to picture quality. But, sound quality also went up a few notches, as well.

Not sure about break in ... it sounds so good right out of the box. But, I'm sure there will be "some" further improvement with more time on the unit.

Will get back to you in more detail in about a week or so.

First impressions: the BIT-15 is a significant upgrade for any dedicated audiophile or videophile. Does an excellent job in all respects.

Will provide more reaction to the unit as time goes on.

My guess is that I just bought about the best power conditioner on the market.

Sure performs that way.

Thanks again,

Brent

Default BIT15's
I have 3, BIT 15's. I replaced my Mc MPC1500. I think the BIT's are superior. JMHO.
Btw, I do beleive the MPC uses Torus technology as well.

The MPC1500 has a Plitron transformer; that's about as close as it comes.

I use a PS Audio P5 PowerPlant with with a pair of 7BSST2.
I've been wondering if a BIT15 would be a worthwhile upgrade?

You should go to the BIT20 for those amps.

Funny....I took that path. I had a P5 and moved to a BIT15. I preferr the BIT by a wide margin. JMHO...

Thanks for that BIT of advice JW.

The PS Audio P5 easily handles my pair of 7Bsst2. I wonder if the BIT15 would be sufficient or would the BIT20 be the better choice?

Doesn't the bit 20 just have more outlets? And yes, I wish I had one. My bit15 is maxed out
