Item: Bryston BP16 Pre Amp with BR1 Remote
Location: Adelaide
Price: $1,499 ono + postage (BIG PRICE DROP)
Condition: 9/10 - Excellent, close to mint condition
Reason for Selling: Would like a fully balanced preamp; that's all.....& I've now gone & bought one!!!
Payment: COD &/or EFT
Extra Info:
No real reason to sell this preamp apart from wanting a fully balanced pre (& just bought one) as I'm planning of going down the mono-block road and I would prefer to use balanced connections,
It's been flawless since I've owned it, it sounds fantastic (quite an accurate, detailed sound which matches well with my Vincent tube power amp) & integrates well into my HT/2CH system via it's bypass function.
I've owed this from new (purchased in June 2012) & it comes with the BR1 remote which in itself is about $900 USD!!

Item: Modded*****Sherbourn Pre-1****
Location: Adelaide Hills
Price: $400 + postage. (BIG PRICE DROP)
Item Condition: 9/10 (see below as I've had some upgrades installed).
Reason for selling: Replaced with a Primare PRE30 preamp so this needs to GO…
Payment Method: COD (can deliver if in SA metro area) or EFT
Extra Info: A stereo preamp featuring audiophile performance and complete control. Fully at home in a dedicated music & HT system, it also offers the convenience of remote control, easy integration, and home theatre pass-through, for exceptional versatility.
Discover what a modern preamp can be with the PRE-1 as this punches well above it's price point. Case in point, I've had to move to a much higher-end pre to improve the sound & not by that much really (but don't tell my wife!!).
· Pure analog signal path with microprocessor control
· Machined aluminum remote control
· Balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs and outputs
· MM/MC Inputs
· Headphone output
· RS232 control and trigger inputs/outputs
I've also had the RCA signal path op amps replaced with burr brown OPA 2134 and two new Nichicon Muse coupling caps in the signal path upgraded by Bruno from Kasum Audio in Adelaide.
I had this work done whilst Bruno was looking at an issue (I lost the sound in one channel) which ended up being a simple soldering issue on the board but Bruno has re-soldered the entire board plus the upgrades which cost approx $250. I've not had the issue crop up again & this work was done over 12 months ago. The sound improvement from the op amps & caps was very noticeable & as I said above, this pre punches well above it's asking price.
It's very hard to find a pre at this price range with balanced inputs/outputs, MC/MM input plus HT bypass which I used extensively in my HT/2CH set up. I'm only selling as I picked up a Primare Pre30 recently in these classifieds.
I have the original box & remote plus the manual.
