I never get that power rating. Not a big number, but in reality, it's more powerful than all my previous SS amps.

Is it because most manufacturers overrate their power rating? Or that Bryston underrates it?

From what I understand bryston underrates it.

Totally agree....the official specs underestimate the output

And my thoughts are if a bryston can't power headphones no amp can.

just a data point....the Abyss TC sounds great through the BHA-1

Perhaps a bit of both

I experienced SS amps where the power ratings are absurdly high, but didn't feel the driver control to be as good as the power rating suggests.

Awesome thanks. I'm getting my TCS either today or tomorrow so I'm stoked.

Enjoy! It also works nicely with my Susvara...just enough headroom I believe.

The 1266 tcs have arrived! They sure are finicky with how they sit on your head or the soundfield is screwed up.

Beautiful complete system. Now you don't even have to bother with other gears.

how is the bryston power wise pushing the hard to power but awesome abyss headphones. are you using the hi gain setting for more power?

I use high gain with the TC. There is enough power for sure. For my Susvara, I would say it is maxed out and works for me, and some may want a more powerful amp for just a little more headroom.

No the low gain is enough. I don't find them hard to drive with the bryston at all, and they sound amazing.

And thank you sir.
