BRYSTON SP-1 SURROUND AV PROCESSOR PREAMPLIFIER

DOLBY DIGITAL DTS THX

TESTED 100% OPERATIONAL CONDITION

SUPERIOR AUDIO REPRODUCTION

This listing is for a used Bryston SP-1 surround AV processor preamplifier. This item has been tested and is in 100% operational condition. All 5 channels and sub out are clean and clear with no hum, buzz, noise, or distortion. I tested Dolby Digital from Comcast Xfinity cable box processor detected Dolby Digital and PCM Stereo when applicable all good. LCD display and backlight in perfect shape, menu for setting criteria and parameters good, processor bypass mode good, analog balance control good, remote control functions good.

This was a very expensive piece when it was introduced and the superior audio quality does come through. I have tested and sold many great sounding expensive high-end preamps and the SP-1 is definitely in this category. Bryston deigned the processor bypass mode for stereo use to equal the then current BP-25 preamplifier. I can attest to this as I have had many BP-25 and BP-26 models come through here and the SP-1 is in the same category. I also have a BP-26 currently and have been using it to test equipment for several months. When I installed the SP-1 the sonic character in digital mode is absolutely exceptional and in bypass all analog mode is just phenomenal. For what these sell for on the current used market they are a steal for top quality audiophile sound a true bargain.

Cosmetic condition is good with minor detriment. This piece is clean with no dirt or nicotine contamination there is some lettering missing from wear on the front panel. Specifically around the toggle switch for compression: late night, normal, and max. Included will be the factory remote control handset, a copy of the owner manual, and the power cord.
