Bryston's new BP-2 phono preamplifier applies extraordinary low-distortion, wide-bandwidth amplification to your record collection. Providing both MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil), the BP-2 is a perfect match for most available cartridges today.
This MM/MC version adds a pair of ultra-low distortion, wide bandwidth step-up transformers (the same ones used in the TF-2) to add compatibility with low output moving coil carts. The transformers can be factory wound for an additional 20dB or 31dB of gain.
Power the BP-2 from your existing Bryston MPS-2 DC power supply or from the new PS-3 DC power supply.
