It's Time For A New Preamplifier

[Randy Myers]

I'll be bringing the Bryston BP-17 home for an inhouse trial tomorrow. My local dealer feels this is the best way to audition a piece of gear.

Looks like a nice piece. Hopefully it works out well for you.

Give us some feedback after your audition, how does it compare to the Cary etc.

Took a couple hours to connect. Some of the after market plugs are really tough to work with. Had a Brahms violin concerto up on the CD player so I decided to play it and get a class of wine to celebrate. First impressions are difficult, but I had just played this piece with the Cary in the starting lineup. It may not have had the warmth of the Cary but it low volume, I still felt I was in grossed in the music. At other times I've felt my mind wander at low volumes. Still lots to listen to.

Jack, I'm confused, why would an output from your preamp go to your phono-pre ? should be the other way around as I see it .........

I agree Dave.
I think something else is missing here.

I agree Dave.

Got it all hooked up and running like a top. Amazingly the connection for the headphones on the BP-17 sounds quite good.

Jack, I think you've misunderstood the question, it's about pre-amp / phono-pre connectivity.

I have the Sutherland Engineering phono pre connected to the RCA jacks on the Bryston BP-17. I was originally putting out bad info and I'm sure I confused everyone including myself. Hope that straightens everything out Dave.
