Bel Canto vs. Bryston


Hi, Would Bel Canto Pre6 be an improvement over Bryston SP-1.7 for 2-ch Redbook/ Multichannel SACD playback. I'm not interested in HT part of the performance. My current speakers are Von Schweikert VR4 JR. Appreciate your help. Regards.

The Pre6 has no special HT features. It is a purely analog multichannel/stereo preamp with lots of inputs/outputs and great configurability. The Bryston does have HT features (such as decoders for DD/DTS/etc.).

I found your note searching for Bel Canto products.

My question--if you're not interested in the BC's HT features, why are you considering a preamp that can be configured with 6- and 8-channel inputs and outputs?

BTW, did you buy or audition one?
