racewong report ~ 一切從屏風開始 - BRYSTON 7B sstc

racewong

序 ~~

最近玩蛇玩到痴晒線, 我再寫Shunyata, 就會被懷疑係咪蛇王寫手了...

其實我除左入左蛇王外, 仲有STEALTH METACARBON XLR, 及一對BRYSTON後級! 今次首先講左對MONO 先.


PART 1 - 前因

<<註: 所有評論的配搭喇叭是MAGNEPAN 3.7>>

一直以黎, 我都人云亦云, 個個都話BRYSTON粗聲, 難登HI-END之堂.

這感覺一直去到我賣了一對PASSLABS XA100.5後, 苦無後級推屏風. 開頭一心諗住入手既AUDIO RESEARCH VT150se, 又因種種意外, 遲遲都未送到我屋企.

喺我心灰意冷之際, 老友低音王一個whatsapp通知, 二手區有對BRYSTON 7B sstc, 絕對可以推爆你對屏風.
過兩日, 在HIENDY討論區中, BALL SIR都極力推薦這對MONO, 令我個心開始有小小痕痕地.

自己諗諗下, 記得四,五年前, 上網睇過有關屏風喇叭既後級配搭中, MAGNEPAN原廠正正就是使用BRYSTON後級作為[參考後級].

更加添了我的信心, 加上這對7Bsstc二手價絕對便宜, 最後決定入手.



當這對後級搬回家後, 外觀上竟與我的AUDIO RESEARCH十分相襯, 一樣的銀色拉絲面板, 一樣的銀色大手抽. 霸氣非常.



以一貫美國後級黎講, 佢絕對談不上豪華高貴, 但肯定係平實中見霸氣. 這點我最為欣賞.



BRYSTON仲有一個設計, 又係我最LIKE. 就係佢既喇叭插設計! 這才是貼心既設計嘛, 見圖.









喇叭插位可使用大叉 / 細叉 / 蕉插 / 針插. 正/負極分開兩個獨立位, 我每次更換喇叭線換線時, 都可以十分安心咁換. 唔駛成日擔心正負極SHORT埋一齊燒機燒喇叭.

一講起喇叭插依PART, 我就不禁諗起果兩隻HIEND頂級牌子, (邊兩隻就等你地自己諗啦), 就真係火都黎埋.!! 次次換喇叭線都驚佢鬆左SHORT埋就大檸樂肋.

除左個喇叭插要讚外, 當然仲有佢既GAIN輸入調教,



睇返你部前級既輸出係RCA定XLR, 再有兩段GAIN給你調較. 又係一個貼心既設計. ~~讚!

PART 2 - 控制力

Power Output
600 watts per channel into 8 ohms
900 watts per channel into 4 ohms
Gain Select and Sensitivity
29dB - 2.3Vin = 600W @ 8 Ohms - (1V Position)
23dB - 4.6Vin = 600W @ 8 Ohms - (2V Position)
Input Impedance
50 Kohms single ended
20 Kohms balanced
Distortion IM or THD+noise
< 0.005% 20Hz to 20kHz at 600 watts into 8 W
< 0.007% 20Hz to 20kHz at 900 watts into 4 W

一開始, 我就問朋友借番對蛇仔比對BRYSTON 7Bsstc插返, 咁就更容易比較到PASSLABS XA100.5與BRYSTON 7Bsstc, 邊部夾屏風多D.

使用軟件多到我都數唔晒, 因為這次測試唔係一晚就試完. 今次係連續兩星期咁試, 試, 試. 試. 直至試到ADELE 21既ROLLING IN THE DEEP........................



我知道了. 我知道BALL SIR所講既越大聲越過引既意思了, 當我部ARC REF.5se開到65度, 音壓很大很大, 可以講, 65度播ROLLING IN THE DEEP實在是我對耳仔既極限音壓, 雖然到了極限, 但一點炒耳既感覺都無, 取而代之, 係聽到我要企起身跟住跳番PART舞.

我聽左HIFI多年, 從未有過這感覺, 依D係拍子? 音感感? 投入感? 我真係唔識用文字去表達這聽感, 我只可說四個字 - [好撚過引]!!

BRYSTON既無窮無盡既推動力, 屏風既瞬變速度, 實在令我好感動! 痴撚線既控制力並唔係講笑, 要我對屏風3.7在極限音壓下, 沒有炒耳的感覺, 我諗唔係咁多後級可以做到. 在控制力依一PART黎講, 我可以比BRYSTON 7Bsstc接近滿分.


PART 3 - 音色, 分析力

好肋, 講左咁多有控制力, 咁佢既音色, 分析力又如何呢?!

在本文章中, 我多次提及到匹配既重要性, AUDIO RESEARCH既前級, 在配搭後級上, 本已經好百搭.

好似之前我玩過既PASSLABS, EAR膽後, GOLDMUND, AUDIO RESEARCH後級等等, 配搭上都能突顯後級既性格取向. 尤其係配搭ARC既後級, 一套西裝既溶合感, 唔可以講得笑. (詳情可以睇番我之前篇ARC文章, 細說 AUDIO RESEARCH CD8, REF 5, REF 110.), 估唔到今次初試ARC夾BRYSTON, 竟然比到我一種只有[原廠配搭]既溶合感. 我聽唔到BRYSTON既自家音色 (粗聲?? HAHA).
我聽到既, 就只係屬於AUDIO RESEARCH既熟識聲音, 一貫既超強質感, 一樣既自然幼細. .   

PART 4 - 總結

對上果次既後級配對中, PASSLABS XA100.5已能給我滿意既純厚暖意, 今次既BRYSTON雖然沒有自己既簽名音色, 但與ARC既溶合更是夾到天衣無縫. BRYSTON + ARC + MAGNEPAN, 沒有我想像既粗聲, 佢比到我既音色音效, 更令我暫時忘記FULL SET ARC既終極目標, 現只想試盡所有既電源線去發揮佢既潛能.

依家我使用一對SHUNYATA KING COBRA CX供電, 這令這對MONO BLOCK既微動態大覆提升, 全頻更細滑.

現期待有更多既電源線可以比我試清這對BRYSTON 7Bsstc既真正實力就好肋...!

Dear Race Ching,
Thanks for sharing, I am glad you found a perfect match for your Ref 5SE. That could be a reference for me just in case I need to find a solid state amp for my Ref 5SE. I had a very brief history with Bryston 4B which I borrowed from my friend a few years ago, my impression is :
It's built like a tank, I would equate this as Mercedes E Class;
It's performance against the price is one of the rare case in Hi End industry as the best valuee especially this is 100% made in Canada. Yes, I use the term Hi End instead of Hi Fi and I believe it does deserve a place in Hi End.
It's very neutral but the sonic character is very "liquid" , with that as a reference, the Class AB from Pass Lab is just too rough.
If you like straight forward and organic sound, this is it.
The reason why I did not pick this as I do not believe it's pre-amp is up to the Hi End level. Another gear from Bryston I would recommend is it's digital player BDP-2, I am still using their BDP-1, if DSD is not mandatory as I do not believe DSD is being supported.

By the way, please confirm the IC you are using is Cardas Clear XLR.

中級以上的Bryston都唔粗聲,
lee隻直係頂咁濟

完全理解版主心情。開始玩Hifi嘅時候，大聲換嚟嘅係細節加耳仔抵受唔住嘅噪音。經不斷嘅調節，控制力增強後，大聲換嚟嘅係細節加場景。

恭喜版主又有新玩具，件件都堅，中了你放的毒今年大出血。

Congratulations..!!!!

餅主的report真係好撚好睇！

絕對過癮!  好睇過家訪報告啦!

換咗Bryston仲會唔會諗住一套西裝Ref.210,250呀

peterpenhk

幾個星期前見版主簽名換成Bryston,小弟真係百思不得其解:
我之前一心想買PMC,咁第一時間當然係試Bryston, 配上4BSST2,有控制力,有下潛,有音埸定位,但就真係粗聲...(小弟自問唔係追求美聲派)
睇嚟Brytson要高級機種先見真章

之前用過3B/4B ST已覺很好聲，Bryston工程師電話提及過連續開三日以上先進入最佳狀態，結果真係好聲好多，唔會粗聲。
