Bryston BHA-1 Balanced Headphone Amplifier
For your consideration, we have a one owner Bryston BHA-1 headphone amplifier. This flexible unit is an excellent solid state headphone amplifier with excellent build quality, like all Bryston gear. The BHA-1 is in perfect working order and excellent physical condition. There are no dents or deep scratches on the unit. The only blemish we could find is some of the lettering missing on the front panel for the "SINGLE ENDED OUTPUT" text over the 1/4" jack. See pictures for further details.
We don't have the original box for the amp, however we will package the unit with great care using a heavy duty box, and polyethylene foam. We spare no expense in materials, and spend the time to pack gear properly.
From Bryston:
Advancing our tradition of unmatched audio performance and functionality, the BHA-1 Balanced Headphone Amplifier is our solution to delivering the finest listening experience from your headphones.
Functionally a miniature power amplifier, we applied the same robust design elements to the BHA-1 amplifier that we used to develop our full size amps. Six class A fully discrete operational amplifiers generate your headphone output, delivering up to 2 watts of power for more than adequate dynamic range.
The BHA-1 provides a true balanced mode via balanced outputs, or you can use the single-ended outputs for more traditional headphones. The BHA-1 also has a pair of XLR outputs which allow you to use the unit as a high quality analog preamplifier.
Hear the best your headphones have to offer by powering them with a BHA-1.
