What Do I Need In A Stereo Preamp?
1) Balanced & RCA Inputs & Outputs Yep, I might run a CD player or DAC with BALANCED outs. I WILL run a power amp that has BALANCED ins for sure. I need balanced ins & outs for sure. Further, these can’t be CONVERTED. They cannot be XLR inputs without a true, dual rail balanced design in the preamp circuitry. It’s gotta…
Reviewer Loves Bryston 14B Cubed!
A superb review of our new 14B Cubed amplifier in Everything Audio magazine. The ‘STELLAR SOUND AWARD’ is not given lightly. “In our opinion, the new Bryston 14B3 Cube stereo amplifier is most certainly an Everything Audio Network Stellar Sound Award winner and a candidate for AMP OF THE YEAR.”
