Offered is „12 B“ by Bryston as second-hand device from the category „Pre-Amplifier / Processor“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6138461432 ends on 23.12.2026 at 16:23 o'clock.
This is a strong deal. At EUR 1,100, it sits below the EUR 1,186 25th-percentile mark from 29 comparable listings and well under the EUR 2,008 median. For a clean, working example, that is bargain territory rather than merely a fair ask.
The 12B is a highly regarded classic analog control preamplifier, offering a clean, detailed, dynamic presentation alongside unusually useful connectivity: MM/MC phono support, multiple line inputs, dual tape loops, dubbing, and a headphone output. Its low distortion and flexible internal MC gain options make it especially appealing in a vintage vinyl-based system. At this price, verify that the phono stage, switches, tape facilities, and headphone output all work properly, but a good-condition example is compelling value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
