Bryston or Yamaha?

Hard to go wrong with either. I find the Yamaha variable loudness function to come in quite handy though.

@soix I doubt the 30+ year old Yamaha is digitizing any analog inputs.

Bryston is likely to be more refined.

@travelinjack  I didn’t say it was digitizing inputs, I said it has a DAC in it doing digital processing that creates noise I don’t want in a stereo preamp.
