One of the Most Sonically Transparent Integrated Amps AvailableThe Bryston B135³ Integrated Amplifier is without question one of the most sonically transparent and reliable audio products available. It offers performance levels equal to the finest separate audio components. "Overall Sonic Immediacy and Clarity"The B135³ won an Editors' Choice Award 2019 from The Absolute Sound magazine, which noted, "With ample analog inputs, an optional mm phono section, and an on-board DAC, it is a versatile unit with enough power (135W) to drive even somewhat tricky speakers. High build-quality, versatility, and overall sonic immediacy and clarity are its strong points." The B135³ has the connections you need for your high performance audio system. Analog inputs provide six pairs of singled ended RCAs plus two pairs of singled ended RCAs consisting of Record In and Power Amp In connections. The outputs consist of two RCA single-ended Pairs (Record Out, Preamp Out), speaker terminals, and a 1/4” headphone jack. The Bryston boasts more than enough power to energize your music and movies, delivering 135 watts into 8 ohms and 180 watts into 4 ohms. The power supply is well thought out, using three ultra-low-noise power transformers and providing over 30,000 MFD of filter capacitance per channel for clean, stable, performance. Convection cooled and housed in a fully aluminum chassis, it uses gold plated switches, contacts, and connectors. Bryston Cubed Series AmplifiersBryston amplifiers enjoy universal acclaim from both audio professionals and music enthusiasts unlike any other brand in the world. As a result of relentless passion for superb performance and unparalleled build quality, Bryston engineers have continued to innovate since the company's groundbreaking premier in 1976. The Cubed Series amplifiers continue this tradition of excellence, highlighted by lower distortion, increased bandwidth, and reduced noise, presenting listeners with a crystal clear window into their most favorite recordings. Bryston Cubed Series Amplifiers, featuring patented circuitry developed in conjunction with Dr. Alexandru Salomie, move the listener ever so close to the music with such visceral realism, the experience is most comparable to live performance. What Defines High Performance?Reproducing exactly what is captured in a recording without exception and without added distortion fulfills Bryston's definition of high performance. Each Bryston Cubed amplifier is designed without compromise in pursuit of this lofty goal. Bryston engineers, led by Christopher Russell, have been busy over the years since the advent of the SST2 Series finding new methods to reduce noise and distortion to reveal more nuance and subtlety than ever before. Cubed Series amplifiers employ significant improvements over the highly acclaimed SST2 Series, including dramatically less distortion at the input stage, improved common mode noise rejection, a major improvement in EMI/RFI noise rejection, and less than 500mW standby power consumption. Finally, Bryston updated the dress panel aesthetics with clean lines and a new finish. Extreme Clarity and DetailAt Bryston, finding ways to eliminate distortion from its designs is a way of life. All Cubed Series amplifiers feature a new patented input circuit that is precisely optimized and linear beyond any that Bryston has used before. Featuring twelve active devices in a groundbreaking array, this new circuit both matches the amplifier to virtually any preamplifier and provides the first 6dB of gain. The new input stage is so transparent, its measurable distortion is less than 1/1000th of 1 percent! Newly designed circuitry in the Cubed Series amplifiers is virtually impervious to noise such as RFI and others induced by external and environmental causes. The Quad-Complementary topology improves linearity to a new standard of accuracy while virtually eliminating aggressive higher harmonic distortion byproducts. The overall harmonic distribution of Bryston’s Quad-Complementary output mimics the characteristics of a Class-A design, but with dramatically lower distortion. Each amplifier channel includes its own fully independent power supply with separate transformer. Bryston strives for accuracy and transparency because that is what sounds best. When a playback system is faithful to the recording, the listener can enjoy the subtlest details, capturing the depth and soul of the performance as the artist intended. Legendary QualityCubed Series amplifiers employ design innovation to achieve superior performance, yet so much has remained constant through years of evolution. Each amplifier is manufactured in Bryston's state-of-the-art facility located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, utilizing many locally sourced components. Many members of the Bryston team have been with the company for decades and all take great pride in their highly specialized craft. All Bryston products are proven on the company's test bench for one hundred hours of burn-in before shipping. Amplifiers cycle between full power and idle in thirty-minute intervals to uncover any anomalies that could be illuminated by thermal stress. Bryston's reputation for reliability is without peer. Not only do Bryston's amplifiers undergo pass/fail testing, but each must also achieve excellence in performance benchmarks as well. With each Cubed Series model, the customer will receive a comprehensive performance certificate detailing the exact specifications of the amplifier. To demonstrate its commitment to excellence and performance, every Bryston amplifier is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a full twenty years. Front Panels and FinishesCubed Series models are available in black or silver colored dress panels and are 17 or 19 inches wide. Nineteen-inch wide models include front mounted handles. Bryston B135³ Integrated Amplifier
Editors' Choice Award 2020 – The Absolute Sound Magazine"Bryston replaced its well-regarded B100 with the more powerful B1353, which uses preamp elements from Bryston's SP3 as well as significant technology from its Cubed power amps. With ample analog inputs, an optional mm phono section, and an on-board DAC, it is a versatile unit with enough power (135W) to drive even somewhat tricky speakers." "High build-quality, versatility and overall sonic immediacy and clarity are its strong points." - The Absolute Sound "I didn’t answer the question I just proposed. What about Bob? I think Bob was enamored with his four large Bryston monoblocks pumping out blood and fire through his big JBLs. He’d take one look at the relatively petite B135³ and say the he needed more to truly rawk. Bob’s opinions would probably fold under strict blind tests, however. It’s strange to see such a compact piece of gear deliver such a powerful sound, one undeterred by inefficient speakers with challenging impedances. It’s fun to have something so reasonably priced and sized that can alarm your neighbors, but that’s not what I want or need from an integrated. I want detail and dynamics, but I also want balance and finesse and clarity." - Marc Phillips, The Occasional Magazine Editors' Choice Award 2019 – The Absolute Sound Magazine"With ample analog inputs, an optional mm phono section, and an on-board DAC, it is a versatile unit with enough power (135W) to drive even somewhat tricky speakers. High build-quality, versatility, and overall sonic immediacy and clarity are its strong points." - The Absolute Sound magazine, March 2019
