Bardo and 10.5 vs Stabi S and 4point 9
I have Kuzma Ref2 with 4 Point 9 (Cardas Clear wire). Using a Phasemation PP-1000 couldn’t be happier.  
Shindo Monbrison balance issue?
I had the same problem when I owned a Monbrison years back. The distributor got me replacements valves sent from Shindo direct as both the PCL88 ( I think that’s what they were) looked completely different. It didn’t help and I ended up selling it... 
Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x
I have heard them both. They are both great integrateds. I would describe the Luxman a bit to the neutral side of the scale compared to the Accuphase. The Accuphase just has a more golden midrange that sounds tonally and timbrely correct. The Luxm...

Phono stage
I have the Goldnote Ph-10. Give it 100hrs running in and you’ll be stunned at how good it is. Add on external power supply comes out soon too! 
SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
A bit confused?????70 people on the planet have enough money to buy a $30,000 tonearm. Irrespective of sound quality, measurements, science, test results,etc.....why is it so important to you that you make them aware that they are not true audioph...
