The Bryston BP-19 draws from extensive research and design breakthroughs, notably from the BR-20 preamplifier. Handcrafted with premium components, including an oversized toroidal power transformer, it achieves effortless music reproduction. Featuring an optimised discrete operational amplifier with THD+N levels as low as 0.0006%, its fully balanced signal path utilises tightly matched components and a compact architecture for minimal noise and superior rejection of common mode interference. For dedicated audiophiles, these innovations, alongside Bryston's renowned craftsmanship, deliver more realistic performances, heightened detail, and enhanced spatial dynamics across all recordings.

Exceptional Phono Stage for Vinyl Playback

For the first time, Bryston is incorporating the renowned BP-2 moving magnet (MM) phono stage circuit as an onboard option for the BP-19 preamp. Carlo Lo Raso, in his review on Secrets of Home Theater, highlighted its "exceedingly neutral and revealing tonal balance, with a touch of warmth enhancing vocal performances." The BP-2 features high accuracy, extremely low noise, minimal distortion, and ample headroom to prevent overload from any phono source. Additionally, Bryston offers custom-designed outboard step-up transformers for low output Moving Coil (MC) cartridges.

Control Options

The BP-19 features comprehensive remote control capabilities via an included infrared remote, offering convenient operation of its six analog inputs through both remote and front panel buttons. HEX codes are provided for compatibility with universal remotes. Additionally, the preamplifier supports remote management via RS232 or IP when integrated into a smart home system using the rear-panel RS232 or Ethernet ports. It allows remote power control and activation of trigger outputs for seamless operation with other connected equipment, including power amplifiers.
