BP-26 SERIES PREAMPLIFIER

Bryston’s BP-26 C-Series preamplifiers offer a significant step forward in capturing the subtleties, nuances and emotions of recorded music. Designed inside and out to reflect the improvements in the entire Bryston line, these new preamplifiers are a perfect match to our SST C-Series of amplifiers. All aspects of the signal flow are greatly improved, with lower noise and distortion figures, and higher overload levels.

All BP-26 series preamplifiers are housed in steel cabinets for shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference effects. Buffered inputs provide for lower distortion and improved linearity from source components. A ground plane has been incorporated in this new design to further reduce crosstalk and noise throughout the internal circuitry. The power supply (MPS-2) is mounted externally to eliminate power-supply noise interference.

Each and every BP-26 C-Series preamplifier is assembled by hand and burned in for 100 hours to ensure performance for many years to come. It is backed by a Warranty — unrivaled in the industry.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURE

The BP-26 includes a remote control with motor driven volume up/down, along with mute and absolute phase reversal buttons.

Volume, mute and absolute phase can also be activated manually on the front of the preamplifier if the need arises.

DAC OPTION

The new BP-26DA preamplifier provides a digital interface using premium quality digital to analogue converters on 2 switchable stereo SPDIF (RCA) inputs and Bryston's fully discrete Class A operational preamplifier sections.

This digital to analog options provides a state of the art upgrade path for customers wanting to improve the digital capability of their stereo CD or DVD players. Simply plug the digital out from your CD/DVD player into the Bryston BP-26DA. The quality of sound using fully discrete Class A operational amplifiers, rather than the typical IC's, has to be heard to be believed.

MM/MC PHONO SECTION

Bryston's unique and innovative Phono Section is available as an optional built in feature in either Moving Magnet (BP-26P) and/or Moving Coil (BP-26MC) version. It offers a broadcast quality uncomplicated package for those who enjoy the ultimate in vinyl playback. The MM/MC phono stage is also available in an outboard unit - BP 1.5 C-Series as well.

Did you say New Remote?

We've heard your cries. The Bryston BR-4 remote control will be included in the box by March 1st, 2020. The new remote is constructed of anodized aluminum with soft-touch buttons.

The BR-2 remains available as a premium upgrade but will likely be discontinued in the future.

Awards

"The Bryston BP26 DA preamplifier and matching MPS2 power supply together comprise a flexible, feature-laden, great-sounding preamplifier that will likely make most owners extremely happy."

Howard Kneller, Soundstage! Hi-Fi

"Notable musical immediacy, good rhythmic drive, solid foundation through good dynamic and bass performance, open but non-fatiguing top end, honest tonal balance, and finally, depth portrayal and 'liquidity' that can be bettered by other gear."

Kirk Midtskog, The Absolute Sound
