Really high performance integrated amp, especially so with the DA converter built in and good value for high-end equipment. It has three torroidal power transformers one for preamp, one for power, and one for DAC/acc. so no bleed-through to any other section of the amp. There is no integrated amp at any price that this cannot compete with. These units are underestimated in their power output, you can tell because they include an actual test form with each amp that is signed by the tech that tested it (mine was 135X2 even though only rated 100X2). Built like a tank to last, run warm but never quit working. This is not an amp for a person who likes to trade equipment every 2-3 months, its an amp you keep for 30 years and show your grandchildren that "they don't make 'em like they used to". Its DAC bested several stand alone units in the $1-2K range and they were designed 10 years prior! The person I sold it (looking for a black one now) to had mountains of cash to spend and he A-B compared this against a $15K Conrad-Johnson Pre-Amp/Amp/512 transport and said he "might be able to tell a difference...maybe" He ended up taking the CJ stack back because he thought it foolish to throw away that money when Bryston is this good. Though this is now continued, the newer B-135SST is identical in looks and essentially the same under the hood with slightly lower noise and DOUBLE the street price. If you find one, do yourself a favor and pick one up, it will give you something to tell your kids about.Read full review
