having owned a variety of Bryston products over the years and a BP-26/14BSST combo (the preamp on loan) I can attest to the synergy between their preamps & amps. Never having listened to the Cambridge its not really fair of me to say you are moving backwards but if the BP-26 is too "neutral" for you (which BTW its designed to be) then maybe you are looking for a "different" type of presentation?

I agree that if you want to stay with solid state and don't want to change your amp there are other choices out there and not necessarily better ones. You might want to consider a tube preamp if you are looking to warm (some people say color) things up a bit?

If reviews mean something to you you should review all the great reviews on the Bryston website
