Vtl 5.5 series 1, David Berning TF-10 or Melos SHA-Gold?

I’ve had a SHA-Gold for about 12 years now
and have enjoyed it along with an EAR 834p

looking to make use of the 834p in another setup

I’ve seen the VTL 5.5 w/phono floating around my budget and of one was available now I’d probably pull the trigger
but
Now I’m just getting to read about the Berning tf-10 and wonder if that might fit the bill.

thoughts?

Yeah my budget is far below the bucks you’re talking about

I'm looking for the VTL series one

looking to cap things out at $1600.00 all around
