you do not like the BP-26 pre-amp? Why?

The BP-26 is fine. IMO the combo of BP-26 and 4B-SST� has too much gain..
The volume is never over 9 O'Clock on the dial. (which really is the fault of digital 2 volt stuff)
And I have to say I do not like the phono box to mate to the BP-26 (for $2,500).
I like the phono in a ARC Sp-15 I own and use just for the phono section, a hell of a lot more than the separate Bryston phono. The Bryston phono just sounds thin. BUT I have not listened to it recently.. though it is plugged in 100% of the time. I just got a new cable which solved a bit of the thin sound of my whole system.. So I should try the Bryston phono box again before I trash it so badly. LOL
At this point I would buy an Audio Research Sp-20 in a heartbeat over the Bryston BP-26
Yes the ARC is a little more money.. but I would be happy to spend it.
