New Bryston BP-19 Preamp Now On Demo!

Hi All,

We have always been big fans of Bryston at HiFi Lounge, they were one of our founding brands and I have personally owned Bryston at home for 15+ years now and I still love it, they walk that fine line really well giving clarity, honestly and insight into any recording but with just enough warmth to keep the presentation natural and I still think in this crazy world of HiFi they give great value for money and peace of mind with their legendary 20 year warranty on analogue products.

They are not a brand to keep releasing new products but when they do release something it is always worth a listen so when the BP-19 Pre was announced I ordered one straight away so I am really pleased to say that we now have it on permanent demo and it really doesn’t disappoint.

I always feel the importance of a preamp is overlooked, a good preamp should really help open up the soundstage, give depth and height to the music, they are certainly way more than just a input switcher with a volume control. 

The BP-19 follows a long line of great Bryston Preamps, like the BP-26 and BP-17 amongst many others including the recent award winning BR-20 which was a streaming Preamp, a great sounding Pre to be honest but not everyone wanted the digital section in that so hence the BP-19, based on the BR-20 but just analogue so a great companion to the BR-20 meaning Bryston have 2 brilliant offering there and when partnered with one of their amps you really can’t go wrong.

We were running it for a demo at the weekend with the 4B3 stereo amp and PMC Fact.12 Signature speakers and it just sounded brilliant, a sound I am very familiar with as not a million miles from what I run at home.

Please find a link to Bryston on our website and if you’d like to come in for a demo at any point please feel free.

Cheers,

Paul.

Some Cool stuff out there.

The local "classic Audio" emporium has quite a selection of amps there.

There are no fewer than 10 Crown Amps including d150s and d75s and two d300s. Must have stripped a recording studio. Crowns are full steel toe certified professional units. Even golden ears years ago had to give them their due.

Also a few Bryston and a Classe for around a kilobuck. Bryston 4bs go for 900 to 1300 depending on the vintage. 3Bs are about 30% less at half the Watts. Two excellent Canadian brands.

There are also a smattering of Japanese beasts. A Nikko and a couple Pioneers are there. Big companies can do it too.

What actually caught my attention had already sold or at least was laid away. It was a Pioneer compander. For those unfamiliar they are devices that either compress or expand the dynamic range of a recording. Often they do both with a twist of a knob in the correct direction. I once had such and actually sold them years ago at this same shop. They were DBX brand.

Oooh they have dbx too under miscellaneous.

They are interesting and can improve a shitty recording if it has been over compressed. I even have a DBX encoded LP that needs a processor to make it sound anything but shit. I could use one for that Carly Simon LP I bought as it is way too compressed.

What these things do is vary the gain by the incoming volume. An expander increases the gain as the volume increases, and compressor does the opposite. Many studios and mastering shops cheat on recordings using these things. Compressed tracks may sound better in a car or in a place with lots of noise like a club. There are no audiophile level machines. ICs and Opamps abound.

When I had them (two actually) I was naive as to the utility but they had some cool flashing lights.

The dbxii was for the LP decoding and my Reel to Reel tape machine. The 3BX was for the whole system. I also had a DBX subharmonic Bass synthesizer which was not bad. That was before my franken amp and my tube amps needed help.

I am glad I grew out of that phase.

On Craigslist there are not one but Two ARC Tube amps! One is 100 Watts per side and the other 60 Watts. Each were 2700ish bucks. If I won the lottery I would be tempted just for nostalgia's sake. They have a particular voice, but I like it. That is still a lot of glass.

Bryston BHA-1 Headphone Amplifier Review

Bryston BHA-1 Headphone Amplifier: Editor’s Choice 2023 The Bryston will never be confused with a tube amplifier, but texture and tone through the HD800? Hell hath frozen over.  The Bryston BHA-1 blurs that line rather significantly offering up a cleaner sounding and more detailed presentation than any of the tube amplifiers in my collection, but with a warmer tonal balance than I would have…

Multi-Room Audio Setup: Extending AV Receiver Connections to Different Zones

Modern homes are increasingly incorporating multi-room audio setups to distribute music throughout the home. A key component of any multi-room audio system is the AV receiver, which acts as the central hub connecting sources and distributing audio signals. However, receivers have a limited number of outputs, necessitating the need to extend connections to additional rooms or "zones". This blog will discuss various wiring options and technologies and av rack design software for expanding an AV receiver setup beyond the main home theater into other areas of the home.

Planning the System with AV Rack Design Software

The first step in any advanced multi-room audio project is to carefully plan out the wiring and component layout. Using av rack design software can help visualize the complete system before installation. This allows evaluating cable runs, selecting appropriate distribution amplifiers and determining the best placement of equipment in equipment racks or wiring closets. Key considerations include the number of zones, their locations relative to the main rack, audio sources to be shared and power requirements. With a thorough pre-installation plan, the wiring and setup process goes much smoother.

HDMI & Audio Distribution

For basic multi-room audio with a few additional zones, using the native outputs on an AV receiver along with HDMI and audio distribution can work well. Many modern AV receivers have at least two HDMI outputs that can send the same video-audio signal to a nearby TV. For audio-only zones, common connection options include:

RCA/3.5mm outputs: These allow connecting powered speakers, amplifiers or audio transmitters for wireless zones. But they only support 2-channel stereo.

Amazon Echo or Sonos speakers: Integrating these smart speakers and letting the receiver play audio to them via the home network. However the receiver must have network streaming capabilities.

Audio transmitters: Connect RCA outputs to audio transmitters like Chromecast Audio dongles which transmit over WiFi to compatible receivers or speakers. This provides flexibility but audio quality may be compromised over wireless.

For whole-home multi-room scenarios supporting HD audio formats, networking based distribution with matrix switching is recommended.

Networked Audio Distribution & Matrix Switching

More advanced multi-room audio systems centered around an AV receiver require network distribution and matrix switching to extend connections to multiple zones. Here are some popular solutions:

Multi-room streaming systems: Integrated solutions like Sonos, Bose SoundTouch let the receiver share audio content over the network to their proprietary devices placed around the home. But they add cost of extra components for each zone.

Networked universal media players: Players like Roku Ultra, Nvidia Shield or Apple TV connect to the receiver's network stream audio reliably to additional TVs. Requires these boxes in every zone.

Network switchers: Devices like Control4, Crestron, RTI matrix switchers distribute HDMI or digital audio from the receiver over the LAN to compatible endpoints in each room using IP or CAT cabling. Very flexible but expensive to implement properly for whole home.

DSP amplifiers: Digital signal processors like Bryston or Datasat take multi-channel digital audio from the receiver over CAT5/6 cabling. Their built-in amplification powers distributed speakers. Scalable but labor intensive to install long cable runs.

No matter the solution, running CAT5/6 cabling throughout the home during construction allows for the cleanest, highest performing networked multi-room system that can evolve over time.

Audio Extenders & IR Control

Rather than relying on the network to carry audio between the main room and distant zones, dedicated balanced audio extenders provide an alternative. Companies like Quantum, Niles and Sonnex manufacture popular balanced line drivers and receivers to extend analog or digital audio signals over greater distances.

Extenders offer simpler installation than network distribution when wiring multiple rooms. They also maintain uncompressed audio quality over long cable runs compared to network streaming. Drawbacks are higher up-front cost and inability to centrally control zones from smartphone apps without additional integration.

For full remote control capabilities in distributed zones, integrated IR/RF systems help extend signals from the main room control to remote sensors. Solutions range from basic IR blasters to full-fledged control processor systems from companies like Control4. These allow controlling volume, input selection and playback functions in synchronized zones from a single main room controller.

The Final Touches - Finishing and Calibration

Once the distribution method and all cabling/wiring infrastructure is in place, the final steps involve connectivity verification, system configuration/programming and calibration:

Connecting distributed electronics like amplifiers, streamers and ensure digital/analog audio signals are routing properly between main and secondary rooms.

Programming the multi-room controller or matrix switcher software to name and group zones, set input mappings and automate scenarios.

Calibrating levels, delays and crossovers for each speaker zone to achieve proper volume level matching, phase alignment and frequency response throughout the house.

Paying attention to these final details will result in a seamless, high fidelity multi-room system that delivers consistent, engineered sound quality to every corner of the home. With the right planning and components, whole home distributed AV is achievable for both integrators and advanced DIY enthusiasts alike.

Conclusion

Whether distributing a few additional zones or wiring an entire smart home for centralized multi-room control, extending an AV receiver setup requires evaluating distribution technologies suited for the specific project scope and existing infrastructure. With traditional wiring, networked integration or hybrid approaches, creative solutions exist for any home's unique multi-room audio needs. Careful planning and high quality execution allows building advanced yet reliable distributed audio systems for ultimate home entertainment enjoyment.

Rationalization & Justification

Sometimes I want to pause and figure out why things are as they are. I have noted many times that in the audio hobby people form tribes of rigid beliefs and opinions in the face of contradicting opinions and often facts. This is better, that is better blah blah blah.

First fact: Nelson Pass produced an audio product where the user could turn a knob to adjust the level and perhaps the type of distortion and found that people prefered a certain type and amount of distortion over simple accuracy.

Next Fact: Many people prefer things they describe as warmth and space in say an amplifier. Others prefer neutrality whatever that means. Sum that as preferences rule decisions.

Another Fact: Every audio component has distortion and artifacts and responses that are not in the input signal.

Last fact: "Better things" cost more money.

I think that most of the discussion and arguments over what you use to listen to recorded music is rationalization for purchase decisions. It is economics not what is better, whatever than means.

My preference for vinyl may be because my system is built around it. My turntable, cartridge, and preamp are the most expensive parts of my system. Easy to understand as when I started out LPs were the only quality source available. Replacement cost for that front end would be about 3 to 4 kilodollars based on recent used equipment ads. My CD player was about $400.00.

It is logical to think that if I had spent five to ten times what I did on a CD based system it should sound better, no? My CDs sound pretty good but my best LPs are "better" only by an increment.

Then there is my software base. I have about 600 LPs and maybe 150 CDs. Voting with my wallet LPs won.

So in an absolute objective sonic sense is vinyl better / best? I have my doubts. But as a human I do not have to be objective. Lets put digital versus analog aside for now.

Tubes versus solid state amplifiers next. I think here even the adherents admit it is only a preference. Testing geeks repeatedly prove that the best solid state units generally have less measurable distortion than vacuum tubes. The glass head rebuttal of that is testing people are stupid or if not they cannot measure what we clearly hear as different. Ears are better than meter readouts.

It is clear to me that the things they hear as better are colorations from distortion. Nice pleasant distortion like 2nd harmonics and such. I have gone into much detail on this in previous posts. Oh and I am a long term fan of glass electronics.

When pressed some golden ears admit to masking of details by tube amplifiers but they don't mind that. In reviews of solid state equipment they occasionally admit to transistors being superior for detail but are not warm enough. I can absolutely vouch for a very good tube amplifier masking information I can clearly hear with a transistor amp.

Yet I think the biggest reason for conflict is money. My tube amp, which I think is great, was at least double the cost of my transistor amp, and I got a smoking deal. It is also 1/4 the power. For a given power tube amps cost MUCH more than solid state. Or for the same rough cost they have far less power.

A typical low level tube amp such as an updated Dynaco ST70 is $1500 bucks and up. I see current ads for 6 mid priced tube amps on the Audio mart listing for approximately 1800 CDN all about 60 Watts per channel. In the same place I found 6 Bryston 4Bs at 250 Watts per side for a wee bit more to a great deal less money.

I know that those Brystons have far less distortion than any of those tube amps.

If you just spent double or triple the money for half or much less of the power and several times the measurable distortion you would get a bit defensive, it is only human. Personally I know the things I like about tubes are actually flaws and inaccuracies. To be clear I think these factors apply to power amplifiers. Preamplifiers are different mostly as they do not need output transformers and operate as Class A just like the Transistors do.

There is a sociological / economic thing called conspicuous consumption. Originally described in 1899 by American sociologist Thorstein Veblen during the Guided Age. It is where people who can afford very expensive things buy them to demonstrate they can easily afford them. It is just like an ape drumming his chest in the forest. I place all the really expensive audio equipment in that box and say have fun. Up there the technology or performance doesn't really matter.

外燴 用這些 Cajun 風格的烤串將新奧爾良的風味帶到您的聚會中。 佐以辛辣的檸檬蒜泥蛋黃醬蘸醬和冰鎮啤酒啜飲。 當您可以計算開胃菜的數量而不是估計人們會吃的量時，為您的派對或婚禮做預算會更容易。 舉辦公司派對時，您必須更加小心並考慮您的選擇。 這些可以自己動手做或裝在小碗裡。 使用負擔得起的原料，如紅薯和全穀物作為底料。 墨西哥、印度和泰國菜既美味又實惠。 或者，如果您在白天舉辦活動，請提供早午餐和早餐食品。 這些餐點通常不含大量肉類，可以包括新鮮漿果、葡萄柚和香蕉等美味農產品。 這種肉絲點心在比賽日會很受歡迎。 搭配鱷梨、調味料和蒔蘿看起來絕對美味。 芥末蛋是最簡單但最美味的開胃菜之一。 用統一的裝飾或什至少許鮭魚魚子醬來提升它們的外觀。 請記住檢查您是否需要提供無麩質或素食選項，因為這些肉食糕點不符合這些特殊飲食要求中的任何一項。 他們可以巧妙地與客人就各種主題進行訪問，讓每一位客人感到舒適和被照顧到。 這些可爆開的零食將鮮味發揮到了三的作用。 甜菜鷹嘴豆泥 - 顏色精美的腐殖質帶有淡淡的甜菜味，配以酥脆的皮塔餅。 北非五香、多汁的羊肉，串有紅洋蔥和甜椒。 您的客人會喜歡的 12 種婚禮美食創意 負責運營的才華橫溢的主廚 Adam 和 Heidi 可以以自助式、“混合和混合”、家庭式或盤式晚餐的形式提供食物。 每份菜單都是為與之合作的夫婦量身打造的，確保 Heidi’s Events and Catering 提供完全定制的體驗。 如果你想在自己的派對上做客，那麼你的第一個電話應該是屈臣氏餐飲 我們還可以為您提供鮮花、結婚蛋糕和場地方面的幫助。 為您提供正裝服務員、調酒師以及玻璃器皿、桌子、椅子、床單等的租賃服務，將有助於緩解婚禮策劃的壓力。 哪家餐飲公司可以在一家公司為您提供如此多的幫助？ 如果您更願意提供餐點，您可以隨時要求人們帶上游戲、飲料，甚至是家人或朋友的一些照片，供所有人欣賞。 這將有助於吸引您的客人並讓他們感到投入，也會讓您覺得自己不必做所有事情。 如果您選擇製作迷你嘉年華食品，您將擁有無限可能。 咸椒鹽捲餅或普通的加奶酪蘸醬的椒鹽捲餅會很受歡迎，或者在上面撒上大蒜鹽的炸薯條。 迷你熱狗配上番茄醬、芥末醬和泡菜，再配上糖粉和新鮮草莓的甜漏斗蛋糕，絕對不會出錯。 新鮮的香草紙杯蛋糕精美地陳列在玻璃分層架上。 我們提供各種美食菜單，以滿足您的口味和預算。 在 Bryston's Building，有四個漂亮的大廳可供選擇，以滿足您的預算和容量。 餐飲服務的重要性 如果您計劃舉辦雞尾酒式晚餐，我們建議您在邀請函上註明這一點，並附上簡單的“隨後舉行雞尾酒會”，以便客人知道提前吃一口。 這是一個比豐盛的晚餐更經濟實惠的選擇，因為你的食物在數量和份量方面都少得多。 ���據您的婚禮有多大以及您希望在招待會期間提供多少種不同的菜餚，請做好服務費用上漲的準備。 考慮車站的佈局和平面圖非常重要，確保牢記空間中的所有其他設計元素，例如照明設備、桌子、沙發和吧台。 穀物碗是蔬菜、穀物、醬汁和蛋白質的分層碗。 為了適應素食者和嚴格素食者，請使用藜麥、法羅和大麥等高蛋白穀物。 扔掉糯米，配上切成薄片的黃瓜，在酷炫的經典上創造出這種希臘風味。 雖然它們很漂亮，可以放在你的蛋糕附近，但它們的用途卻截然不同。 多肉植物的加入增添了低調和流行的樹葉裝飾，美味的切片奶酪非常適合您活動中的終極碳水化合物愛好者。 在您的活動中設置一個華夫餅吧，讓客人自己挑選配料，例如鮮奶油、冰淇淋、糖漿、水果或酸奶。 為了增加定制化，還提供不同的麵糊，如巧克力、香蕉、藍莓等。 但它也有助於餐飲服務商根據交通流量進行調整，並確保食物盡快送到客人手中。 只喝幾種口味的咖啡和添加物，如不同口味的糖、奶油、攪打過的主題，甚至可能是一些成人飲料。 讓您的客人混合他們最喜歡的咖啡混合物，不要忘記冰和一些與咖啡搭配的最喜歡的小吃。

如果客人想用卡支付，請在賬單上簽字，並攜帶卡和賬單到付款櫃檯。 如果場所有移動卡支付服務設施，請將交易設備帶到客人桌上。 清理時，一次拿起一個盤子，小心地放在托盤上。 可堆肥外賣容器 使用防篡改標籤和容器是食品未被購買者以外的任何其他人接觸過的最明顯標誌。 智能標籤可以保護食品免受溢出、洩漏和污染。 我聽說過這個地方，所以我檢查了一下，當我需要一次性用品時，這絕對是我的地方。 Restaurantware 功能方便，外觀優雅，擁有您需要的所有外賣用品，可以為快節奏的飢餓世界提供美味的食物。 環保且可堆肥，我們的外賣用品優雅、堅固且由優質材料製成。 如有任何疑問，請隨時與我們聯繫，食品包裝專業人員將及時為您解答。 例如，如果您是一家專賣麵條的餐廳，您的外賣可能會在頂部有一個方便的把手。 湯季如火如荼，這意味著麵包碗和手工混合的混合物已準備好在假期和深... 除了餐具，餐廳的日常一次性用品還包括桌面配件。 這個利基類別包括用於包裝銀器的餐巾紙帶和一次性鹽和胡椒瓶等物品。 雖然這些可能不是您業務的必需品，但提及這些較小的物品仍然很重要，因為它們經常被遺忘。 雖然您購買的容器和一次性材料的類型更多地取決於您提供的食物種類，但您仍然可以通過準確確定您的業務需要哪些一次性用品來節省資金。 本文將介紹餐廳最常用的一次性用品，並讓您了解一些您可能要考慮購買的物品。 我們還有用於餐飲或商業用途的全尺寸餐飲托盤。 當談到用於餐飲服務的一次性用品時，有很多不同的物品可供選擇。 考慮您提供的食物以及最適合保溫或保冷的材料是至關重要的。 此外，使用食品安全一次性用品將有助於維護顧客的健康和安全。 確保手邊備有所有不同類型的一次性用品，以便您的員工能夠順利高效地開展工作。 餐飲服務商職位描述樣本模板 經營五年的餐飲供應商在當地享有盛譽，擁有成熟的特色和業績記錄。 這些年來，許多餐飲服務商都試圖擴張，但過度曝光、缺乏集中質量控制以及成本上升，所有這些充其量只能讓擴張喜憂參半。 工作時間很長，但許多公司已經為每位全職員工確定了責任範圍，並學會瞭如何授權。 無論是餐飲經理簡歷還是餐飲服務員簡歷，請確保您的技能部分與您提供的食物一樣誘人。 根據美國勞工統計局的數據，2016 年至 2026 年間，食品服務經理的就業率將增長 9%。 食品準備工人通常從有經驗的工人那裡學習他們的工作技能。 按州和地區探索食品準備工人的就業和工資資源。 從 2021 年到 2031 年，食品準備工人的就業預計將增長 2%，低於所有職業的平均水平。 食品服務人員不需要任何經驗，但最好有高中文憑或 GED 同等學歷。 食品服務人員最重要的技能之一就是對細節的關注。 在大型企業中，副廚師長可能負責一個廚房的食物製作。 在規模較小的企業中，副廚師長確保所有食品生產工人都按照行政總廚制定的質量標準履行職責。 在主廚不在時，副主廚承擔行政總廚的所有職責。 監督和培訓員工，與食品準備員工和其他人員協商以規劃菜單和相關活動。 廢物管理 與我們聊天，討論我們如何幫助您的公司或社區將其有機廢物轉化為可再生能源。 使用該系統可以減少超過 100 萬次面對面的互動，並優先在高使用率區域進行清潔和消毒，從而增強工作場所的健康和安全。 每年，UGA 都會向垃圾填埋場發送大約 one thousand 萬磅的材料，相當於米勒​​學習中心大小的一座山。 UGA 社區的每個成員在減少、再利用、再循環和堆肥方面採取周到的行動，將大大減少這種浪費。 也許獎勵您的員工保持物品特別乾淨並定期執行維護任務。 這樣，您就可以確保設備始終得到應有的照顧。 無論是小型後院花園還是廣闊的草坪，我們都可以根據您的喜好定制景觀設計。 媒體服務我們試圖針對更廣泛的受眾進行較低級別的批量招聘，這促使我們設計了這項服務。 我們處理從媒體策劃到廣告發布和候選人名單的整個人員配置過程。 我們在管理候選人會議、薪資談判和加入後的互動方面發揮著關鍵作用。 白蟻 白蟻或白蟻會損壞您的貴重財產、紙張、木製物品和家具。 當病毒在員工之間傳播時，大多數企業都會陷入困境。 由於許多最重要的團隊不在辦公室，生產速度會減慢。 無論疾病是否影響您的銷售、交付或其他領域，減少疾病傳播都很重要。 即使員工生病時被要求留在家裡，許多人也會無視這一要求，然後在辦公室裡走動，通過接觸其他人接觸過的各種表面來傳播病毒，如此下去。 越來越多的工具可以幫助企業和個人跟踪和管理食物浪費。 在餐廳，這些可以從成本低於 50 美元的廉價和低維護工具擴展到在大型商業環境中管理廢物的解決方案。 這就是技術可以支持這種手動數據收集和分析的地方，並確保廚房團隊可以重新開始做飯，同時獲得減少食物浪費和廚房成本所需的洞察力。 29 個令人瘋狂滿足的辦公室午餐創意 確保計算每個參加者的人數，並預測那些可能會吃第二份的大胃王。 在不超出預算的情況下，確保有足夠的份量，並為意外的客人或誤數的員工留出一些迴旋餘地。 無論您的活動是在您的辦公室還是在特殊場所舉行，我們提供全方位的餐飲服務，讓您輕鬆規劃活動。 為商務會議等提供超凡的企業餐飲服務。 它會比以肉為基礎的辣椒便宜，但它仍然美味可口，同時又能填飽肚子。 這也是在辣椒烹飪比賽中提供樣品的好方法。 添加一些龍蝦炸玉米餅或韃靼牛排——因為你購買的這些東西的數量較少，所以它會比你把它做成所有人的正餐便宜得多。 無論您何時計劃下一次活動，請務必利用這些創意。 在這個世界上，沒有什麼比製作精良的手工肉餡捲餅更令人欣慰的了。 徹底改變您公司的企業餐飲和自助餐廳體驗。 Elegant Eating - Long Island Caterer - 以紐約薩福克縣和拿騷縣的出色餐飲而聞名。 我們以使用最新鮮的頂級食材從頭開始製作所有菜餚而自豪。 我們還提供種類繁多的菜單和口味、健康選擇和美味佳餚，一定能滿足每個人的味蕾。 Pit Master 的最愛套餐包括地球上最好的雞翅、自製墨西哥辣椒香腸、蔬菜生魚片和 Q 排骨。 我們有 one hundred 多種開胃菜供您選擇，供您在下一次活動中享用。 您可以讓它在您的下一個派對上展示、通過或下車。 如果您沒有看到它，請詢問我們，我們可以根據您的喜好製作任何開胃菜。
