Bryston Turntable

[James Tanner - Bryston]

Hi, James,

I just completed the turntable set up.

SO EASY!

I installed an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge. No adjustments were necessary for either the vertical tracking angle (for 200 gm. discs) or the azimuth.

In addition to the turntable, I have purchased and received a BP26-MM Preamp, PS-3 Power Supply, and 2.5B3 Amplifier and will be setting those up next week.

Best wishes,

James Citti

Hi, James,

My opinion of the sound of my new Bryston turntable.

BLP-1 BTP-1 .jpg

In short, the sound and overall performance exceeds my expectations!

As a 17-year owner of Bryston audio equipment, my bar is quite high. Tracking, with an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge is flawless. I agree with your position that an anti-skate mechanism is not needed.

The arm tracks the bias bands on the Hi-Fi News Analogue Test LP—even band 9, the “torture track.” The turntable design strikes me as being based on pragmatic engineering and material science principles rather than in vogue audiophile ideologies.

I am also pleased with the quality and performance of my new BP26MM preamplifier, PS3 power supply, and 2.5B(3) amplifier.

Thanks for the help and advice.

Yours truly.
Jim Cittit

James,

I had a customer ask me this question " What the heck does a $4,000 turntable sound like?"


She was getting back into vinyl after a 20 year hiatus. I had set up her Technics SL 1500 with an Audio Technica 95AE and she was grooving on the vinyl sound.

I told her about the Bryston BLP-1 Turntable and how excited I was to get Wolfsong Audio's table up and running. With just a few hours of play I have an answer to her question.

I cannot say this applies to all $4,000 turntables but this one sings.

It has truly extended frequency range and is true to the harmonics of real music. The fundamental notes are all equal in measure and the harmonics that each of those notes generates are tonally correct with realistic decay and dynamics. Rock solid bass with real timbre and tone set the pace for "boogie" and soaring upper midrange to lower treble give life to music whether it was recorded live on a stage or mixed in a studio.

Bravo Bryston!

Mike,

Hi James

Got my Bryston BLP-1 Turntable the other day.

First of all I am using the BLP-1 with a Dynavector 20X2L feeding a Rega IOS LOMC phono pre into a Icon LA4MK3 pre into my Gryphon power amp running a pair of Totem Fires (can you tell I shop at Simcoe Sound).

I used the same DV on the Rega RP-6 so it's a direct comparison.

The main differences that the Bryston table brings to the party for me are resolution, definition and details. It just seems to dig deeper and it reproduces everything in a more refined detailed fashion but has all of the " PRAT " that the Rega is famous for.

I've noticed deeper bass ( without bloom ) more defined mids and highs that just seem more silky yet incredibly clear. I'm not very good at describing differences but to put it in simple terms, compared to the BLP-1 the Rega RP-6 is slurring it's words.

Thing is, I didn't realize that until I compared the two back to back.

Hope this makes sense and thanks again.

Ken.

Hi Bryston,

“I got my Bryston turntable from Wolfsong Audio in Georga.

This is a really superb turntable. Mine came packaged with a premounted Benz Micro cartridge.

In my opionion it's better than the VPI or Rega tables I've owned.”

James,

There is a thread in the newly established DC HiFi Forums about the BLP-1. It is very laudatory of both the table and Bryston. I’ve included a link to the thread below. Please note that only members can post but, should you want to comment, I would be happy to forward your comment to Chris for posting (the administrator - I suspect you may have already spoken with him).

Hi James!

I've recently gotten the Bryston BLP-1 Turntable and the Dynavector 20X broken in and the results are quite spectacular.

Hi Folks,

Bryston is very pleased to announce that the Bryston BLP-1 Turntable has received a Golden Ear Award in the 2018 issue of the Absolute Sound magazine.

Bryston Turntable and Tonearm

Supplied with record weight, dust cover (three cheers!), and the company's proprietary BTP-1 outboard pulse-with-modulation power supply, this belt- driven two-speed turntable boasts exceptional speed accuracy and spot- on rendition of pitch, timing, rhythm, and togetherness.

Bass is deep and powerful with remarkable resistance to external disturbances despite its fixed plinth (though it's quite the best compact, lightweight turntable I've ever used).

All up and down the scale the BLP-1 provides a neutral platform of great composure grip, and dynamic range with commendable quiet backgrounds. The tube of the nine-inch gimbal-bearing tonearm is constructed in seven segments of differing diameters the better to deal with unwanted resonances. (Bryston challenges the need for anti-skating but will provide it if requested)

Offering joy of vinyl at a level of performance that gets you to the threshold of the so-called "super" turntables without the fussiness, the need for continual adjustment, and the sheer anxiety that all too often accompanies some esoteric setups.

Bryston just couldn't have made life in the vinyl lane easier or more inviting than with the BLP-1.
