Right now I have my cd player hooked up to my Rotel 1066 and then hooked up to a Bryston 4B-SST. I am looking at a used Bryston BP-25 pre to upgrade my 2 channel sound. Just wondering about hooking everything up. I know that the CD player will hook up to the BP25 which will then hook up to the amp. My question is how to hook up the Rotel to the bp25?

Phillip, I believe you will need a pre-amp with a gain control on it in order to hook the pre-processor to the pre-amp and you will need analog bypass for left and right on the Rotel. This was never my specialty keeping up with exactly how to do this. But I am pretty sure that's accurate.
Myself, my proceed HPA-2 has both RCA and XLR inputs. My Classe' CP-35 analog pre-amp has XLR outputs. So, I hook my Classe to the XLR inputs on the amp, and the MC-1 left and right channel to the RCA amp inputs. On order to toggle between 2 channel music and home theater, I have to manually flip 2 toggle switches on my HPA-2 amp. No remote control for this operation.
But for me, to maintain separate yet together solid state 2 channel and home theater, it's the only real solution, as the MC-1 doesn't have analog bypass, and my pre-amp does not have gain control.
I think you may well have the analog bypass part covered, so before you jump on the Bryston, you better make sure it has gain control.

Hi Lex,
My Bryston amp has RCA and XLR inputs as well so I could do what you're describing. I would prefer not going behind the amp everytime I need to switch between HT and 2 channel. I could also just hook up the 1066 to an input on the BP25 but I'm not sure if this will change the signal at all. Someone had mentioned using the tape loop on the BP25. I was just wondering how to hook it all upComment

Bryston announced today the soon to be released update of their acclaimed pre-amp, the BP25. The new version is dubbed the BP26. Further details to follow.

P.S. It will be interesting to see what they improved on as the BP25 is one heck of a pre-amp as it is!10 November 2004, 18:44 Wednesday -
I am thinking of purchasing a Bryston BP25 pre-amp. Has anyone actually heard it in combination with a 3BST or 4BST? I am thinking of the silver finish, I would also be sending in my 4BST for a " facelift" . My cost for all this would be @ $1950.00 for the pre, and $150.00 for faceplate... -
Hi guys,
Sorry to keep bothering u guys with my querries. My set up is a Cyrus CD 8X, Bryston BP 6/ 3 BSST pre/power and B&W 805s.
The preamp only has RCA outputs though the power amp accepts both RCA and male XLR s.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make life sweeter. Take for instance the Bryston SP 1.7 pre-amp processor that I just received the other day. It is very simplistic yet it performs in an astounding manner. From the moment you take it out of the box until the time you turn it on for the very...

OK, so here is my attempt to break down the RC-1090, the RC-1070 and the Bryston BP-25; I am no expert, so take this for what it is worth, and as always, listen for yourself….
Two weeks ago I did a listen to three Pre-Amps, the RC-1070, the Bryston BP-25 and a VTL two-channel pre....
