Bryston SP1 . .. any experience with this preamp ?

It looks like a great preamp/proc to me!
Analog bypass.. balanced outputs
no video switching so no noise or distortion

i am looking for something of that kind..
but i can't really decide on what to go with ..

i think i'll need to try this one out with the classe SSP-30

This brysotn looks really interesting neway..

Neone here got that unit ? or have tried it ?

my system will be used for setero music like 90% of the time..but i still need a good proc for games/dvds :)

If you want to compare the Bryston, compare it to Sim Audio's HT preamp. The Sim Audio HT preamp is a little more expensive than the Bryston. They both have the innards of the EAD's highest level HT preamp. There are differences. The Sim Audio my be a bit better at 2 channel preamplification (only because I consider the Sim Audio P-5 preamp a better 2 channel preamp than Bryston's best 2 channel preamp).

Anyway, I would do a lot of investigating before laying down that much money on digital.

Peace.

SD:

You've been absent, or perhaps, I have been.

I appreciated your insight, as well. I'm looking to convert my electronics (I'm very satisfied with my B&W N802s). My current thoughts are to the new BAT 6200 Amp, though the Theta Dreadnaught is in the running. Regarding pre-amps, the Meridian 861 is quite an investment, and I'm not sure it's worth it to me. The SP-1 or Lexicon's MC-12B are respectible alternatives.
For the source, I'm waiting for both a fully ROM-push into the stream (an extension of the Meridian FIFO technology) and full 1080i (perhaps a 24/192 or 24/384: Theta's new Xtreme card, once this becomes mainstream and less expensive).

Do Take Care.
