SUBJECT: Bryston Moving-Coil Step-Up Transformer

December 2015

Most Moving-Magnet phono stages expect to receive a signal between 3-6 mV at their input from the cartridge.

A step-up Moving-Coil transformer is designed to accept the lower voltage output from the MC cartridge and increase the voltage to a point which is acceptable to the input stage of the standard MM phono section.
The Bryston TF-2 Moving-Coil step-up transformer is available in two versions...with a 20dB or a 30dB gain option.

Your choice on which unit is most appropriate will be determined by the voltage output of your chosen cartridge.

• From .1 to .2 mV we would recommend the 30dB version

• At .3 mV we would say either version would work fine

• From .4 to .5 mV or more we would recommend the 20dB version

An important point to consider when choosing which Step-up to use is you do not want to over-power or under-power the MM phono stage.
Under-powering results in not having enough GAIN in the system and over-powering can result in voltage overload and the resultant distortion.
 
DEALER FEEDBACK

Hi James

When do you expect the turntables to ship? I received the new Bryston 1/3rd size phono products this week and already have them out in a functional display

So far the BP-2 MM/MC phono stage sounds awesome! Very alive with good frequency depth and weight. I think I'll take it home this weekend and try them out with my London Gold and Hana SL.

I have to tell you, I still have this dream of owning a BP26 with MPS2 and now both BP-MC and BP-MM.

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.

Gents,

I inserted the TF-2 into my system last night. So the Ortofon Quintet Black feeds the TF-2 into the phono stage of the CJ preamp. I sure have plenty of gain now!

My system is very different than it was in CT, but I can’t tell yet which characteristics to attribute to room acoustics and which to the new cartridge. But I had imaging this evening way outside the speakers and good depth too. Dynamics of the Quintet Black are good and my system is resolving that well.

I played Surfer Girl and In My Room from a MoFi pressing of Surfer Girl and the staging was awesome, vocal presentation dead center.

August 2018

Hi Folks,

A superb in-depth review on the Bryston Phono stage is due out shortly in a new NOVO Magazine ‘High-End’ online publication – will send complete review link when available.

Sneak peek below.

The Bryston BP-2 MM/MC Phono Preamp/With The PS-3 Power Supply:

By Andre Marc

“In fact, the Bryston BP-2 MM/MC phono stage revealed so much of what was in the grooves it provided an incentive to engage in record hunting, which this household has not done for a while since we own a healthy collection.

Out came the wallet and during this review, we scored several choice pressings that have been on the shopping list.

Having had hundreds of review components come through our system, it has never been so difficult facing the notion packing up and sending back gear to the manufacturer.

This Bryston phono stage pair was simply transformative for my vinyl listening.”
