Seller's Description

Bryston BP17 Cubed Pre Amplifier For sale is my beloved BP17 Cubed pre amp. CURRENT MODEL!   This is a sensational pre, very highly rated and well reviewed. https://www.stereophile.com/content/bryston-bp-173-line-preamplifier   This unit has the DAC module installed from the factory- it has 4 digital inputs up to 96khz.   The first owner made a sharpie mark on the volume knob, I tried to gently remove it but I don’t wish to damage the finish. This is the only negative- otherwise it’s mint.   It comes with a brand new remote control that I used for a few days only before my BR20 arrived.    it

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Bryston BP-17³ Cubed preamps stand out for their patented Salomie input circuit, delivering ultra-low distortion (<0.0025%) and exceptional clarity in a compact, modular chassis—smoother and more refined than the BP-26, per user reports.

At AUD4,750 for unknown condition, this feels ambitious; typical used BP-17³s trade in the AUD3,000-4,000 range depending on options like phono/DAC modules and cosmetics. Haggling could make it fair if pristine. Verify the serial number for Bryston's 20-year warranty status, test all inputs/outputs (5 RCA/2 XLR) for noise or channel imbalance, and insist on the original remote, manual, and power cord—common omissions that ding value.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Bryston

Bryston emerged from Canada's medical electronics sector, where it began producing high-tech blood analyzers in 1962. The pivot to high-performance audio came in 1976, sparked by James Tanner's quest to drive demanding electrostatic speakers. Drawing on medical-grade components, the debut of the 4B amplifier at the Chicago Consumer Electronics Show marked the brand's entry into hi-fi, quickly earning acclaim from critics like Peter Aczel and establishing its Canadian manufacturing legacy.

Renowned for robust amplifiers and preamplifiers, Bryston has expanded into digital components such as DACs and streamers, as well as powered speakers. This evolution reflects a commitment to both analog purity and modern digital demands, serving consumer, professional, and commercial markets—from home listening to stadium sound reinforcement—while maintaining a focus on uncompromised musical accuracy.

Positioned firmly in the high-end audio arena, Bryston commands respect for its no-nonsense engineering, timeless designs, and unparalleled reliability, backed by industry-leading warranties. Music and movie enthusiasts trust it for scientifically verifiable sound quality that endures for decades, cementing its status as a benchmark for discerning buyers seeking longevity without compromise.
