Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs

Its a very odd combination. Both brands have a completely different view as to how a piece of audio gear should sound. Usually, if you ask someone that likes Pass, what they think of Bryston, they would most likely say they don't. Same thing for Bryston.

FWIW, I used a BP26 and Pass X1 with a Pass X150. I didn't notice a difference with either preamp. I kept the BP26 due to its simpler UI. I later went with Bryston 7B SST monoblocks."

Did you actually listen to them?

Hey Zd, Bob said he had both in his system and didn't notice a difference. Um, pretty much says he listened to both. Have you had a Bryston preamp in your system to directly compare with a Pass pre? And then there's always the personal taste variable of course.

My brother in law has a BP25 and a Pass Aelph. If he uses single ended cables between them there is a hum. Balanced cables eliminate the hum. Other than that no problems and sounds great.
