Just added a Transparent Audio Powerbank 2 to this setup. Little warmer with modern music. little more separation with old Rock and Metal

I'm still shocked about how this amp doesn't get more love on this site. It's all phonitor , violectic , etc. This amp is my end game SS. To me Bryston is as good as it gets for SS stuff. I will never sell my 4bsst2 or the bha1.
It's like, what gives? I suppose it's because they haven't done revision after revision like other companies? This model has stayed the same since inception. The one I just bought in the fall is pretty similar to the initial release.

I agree. I don't own one, but I am a Bryston fan and have auditioned the BHA-1 three times at a local dealer.

What keeps me from buying one: it's over powered, if that's the right way to put it.

I find that with many headphones, 9 o'clock is maximum volume for my tastes. I know you can get a custom build from Bryston that reduces the default gain, which should tell you something about the power output from this beast.

Yeah I might hit 10 o'clock, but yes 9 usually.

Nice setup. Btw, that HD600 sounds really dang good out of the BHA-1 as well.

 

[judomaniak57]

yes it does, but I prefer the 600's thru my antique sound labs tube amp

I just bought a zebra wood pair of lcd 4s to go with the bryston! Super stoked!

BHA-1 goes really well with all Audeze's I tried. The synergy is definitely there.

Well if these lcd 4s are as good as they are supposed to be I'm in for a real treat.

I grew up in Ocala Fl, so I know exactly what you're talking about. A lot of lost gear to lightning. Even now, as I live in the north, I always unplug my stuff when not listening due to my childhood in the lightning capital.

The lcd4s just arrived:
