What customers say
This power supply is consistently viewed as an essential upgrade that dramatically elevates system performance when paired with Bryston components.

This clarity allows micro details and dynamic contrasts to emerge with startling precision. Reviewers also note enhanced soundstage dimensionality and tighter bass response with greater definition. Beyond the audio gains, the unit’s legendary robust build quality ensures long term reliability. While a substantial investment, serious listeners agree the tangible, audible benefits fully justify the cost, making it highly recommended for maximizing high end Bryston setups.
Know before you buy
The PS-3 is designed to support a range of Bryston phono stages, line-level preamplifiers, and digital music players. We recommend checking your specific component's manual or contacting Bryston support to confirm compatibility before purchase.
By providing a cleaner, more stable DC current compared to standard internal power supplies, the PS-3 reduces electrical noise and distortion. This results in a lower noise floor, allowing for greater detail and clarity in your music playback.
No, the unit is straightforward to use. It features a non-modular design with a single output port, so you simply connect it to your compatible Bryston component using the appropriate cable.
While it is designed to match the look of other Bryston components, the all-steel chassis serves a critical functional purpose by providing excellent electromagnetic shielding. This prevents external interference from affecting the sensitive power delivery to your audio gear.
The 20-year warranty on analog components reflects Bryston's confidence in the build quality and longevity of the PS-3. It ensures that your investment is protected for the long term against manufacturing defects.
