>>glare and screechiness (?) that I have been
experiencing with my Bryston BP25 preamp. <<Well that's interesting. It just goes to show how system/room/personal taste dependent this all is. I used a Bryston B60 integrated as a preamp for a while and found it very smooth, very clear, transparent and very slight;ly lacking in dynamics. At the same time I had a c-j PV12 and found it to have excellent dynamics, better bass impact than any pre I've had, and to be harsh and irritating over time, in the midrange. Pretty much the opposite of what I expected.
I really liked the Bryston pre a lot. Other components were Odyssey Stratos/Marantz8B/c-j MV75/Adcom 535/Scott208 amps, ProAc Response 2s and NHT SupeOne speakers, Naim cd3 and Philips cdr870/MSB Link DAC as sources. The interesting thing was that my impressions of the preamps remained consistent regardless of the associated components.
Also used a Sound Valves VTP-101 pre. The SV is very good for the money, but a little light in the bass. If it had the bass impact of the c-j I'd probably quit looking at preamps.
