View Owners Manual >> View Brochure >> View Bryston Products >> Reviews Fair Hedon – “The Bryston BP-2 with the PS-3 external power supply is a steal in my opinion. We feel it competes with far more expensive phono stages especially where a good part of the price is allocated to big, impressive enclosures, and quasi-exotic parts in non critical areas.“ NOVO – “Well, nothing was amiss as the Rega / Bryston combo presented the music with immaculate precision, and, most importantly, it was super fun. “Play That Funky Music” indeed, fittingly, the title of the monster single from the album.The mood stayed vintage, and next up was Traffic’s brilliant self titled second album from 1968, on United Artists. I never thought this United Artists pressing was stellar, but I had to reconsider after hearing it via the Bryston.“ Features Applies 41dB of gain from your moving magnet phono cartridge or high output MC cartridge Class A discrete operational amplifiers Ultra precise RIAA equalization Powered from external Bryston PSU Very quiet operation and very low distortion Compact chassis can be placed nearby turntable or preamplifier Front panel Mute switch Internally configurable for capacitive loading Phono gain stages are rather un-glamorous. But that’s the point. This one trick pony simply accepts analog audio from your turntable’s cartridge and amplifies it to a level that your main preamplifier can understand. What makes the BP-3 MM so special is that it can take such a minuscule signal–2mV or so and amplify it with so little distortion and so little added noise. If it weren’t for the characteristic smoothness and organic sound of vinyl, you might swear you were listening to digital.
