Mating the BHA-1 to the KEF<br />
LS50 speakers and the PrimaLuna<br />
ProLogue Premium<br />
power amplifier makes for a<br />
wonderful combination within<br />
the financial reach of most<br />
audiophiles. Even at high<br />
volume, the BHA-1 (especially<br />
in the context of a system utilizing<br />
a tube power amplifier)<br />
contributes no noise of<br />
its own.<br />
The two inputs should<br />
be all that most people need<br />
to incorporate a digital and<br />
an analog source into the<br />
system. I’m sure some have<br />
suggested that Bryston add<br />
remote control, a motorized<br />
volume control, etc., and<br />
while I’m sure the company’s<br />
engineering team did ponder<br />
these questions, the addition<br />
of this functionality would<br />
bump the sticker price up<br />
considerably.<br />
At $1,395, this has to be<br />
one of the best audio buys<br />
going. The tonal quality,<br />
versatility as a headphone<br />
amplifier and the fact that it<br />
makes a killer preamplifier<br />
are three great reasons why<br />
the Bryston BHA-1 deserves<br />
one of our Exceptional Value<br />
Awards for 2013.<br />
