I was on the other end of a similar situation. A local dealer in used equipment had just received a vintage amp and preamp that I wanted. His tech had not checked it yet. When I asked about it he said another customer was interested, but wanted a ... 
Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
@aberyclark  - Your question is answered thanks to @jea48    Read page 8 ... The power cord can have audible effects! A good cable is recommended.  
I am sad
Inquiring minds want to know. Is this the amp?   samureyex OP 236 posts 02-21-2025 at 05:21pm  I didn't include make and model because I'm certain it won't change the end result. The make and model is BMC S1  
Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?

FWIW - It appears that all of the more expensive Ikeda cartridges us a boron cantilever.  
Phono Cables for Sutherland 20/20 mk1?
Sorry, I don’t know on that. I have had Nordost reterminate cables and they were reasonable. Hopefully Cardas will do the same    
Phono Cables for Sutherland 20/20 mk1?
Cardas will modify the cable for you. A friend of mine had them do exactly that. Different phono, but identical issue.  
Preamp with separate volume control for each channel?
"had my vintage Music Reference RM-9 repaired" Well sort of... I would take it to a different shop for repair. There are a number of preamps with dual volume controls, but I don't think that is the solution you want.

Aesthetix recommends Vintage Tube Services for NOS tubes.  
Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong?
@emergingsoul  I thought you might find it interesting (I did) and I think it might be better than wearing dixie cups on your ears ;-)
