Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?
Thoughts on the Vibraplane? I think it’s still considered the gold standard. Yes expensive at $2500 but less expensive than other item.  
Has Anyone Heard the New Gryphon Ethos CD Player
Also heard it at Axpona and the “system” was wonderful but as @toneranger said hard to tell what the Ethos was doing. I can tell you I was not impressed with how the top loader closed, was not very smooth for such an expensive unit. 
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?
I've heard and lusted after Sanders 10e speakers (only 12k including room correction). Only other speaker I'd consider is the Avant-garde Mezzo's at 70k. Nice to dream. 
spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set
Recently at Axpona heard the Spatial Audio speakers and to be honest they did not impress. (Did not hear Zu speakers). BUT did listen to the Tri-Art Audio open baffle speakers which to my ears were one of best of show.  
Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage?
@uberwaltz let all know when you pull the trigger and get the Gold Note power supply and your impressions.

Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage?
I bought the ps for $875 plus shipping and PP fees from sounds of silence. Still expensive for a power supply upgrade but wanted the matching unit.  
UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER
I had VPI's many years ago and while I found them good tables they IMHO were just that good tables. I'd look at any of the Kuzma tables they will not disappoint. Not as well know here in the States but once heard there's no going back. 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
With shipping costs that would be roughly 50% of the cost of a new pair. Maybe it would make sense to sell yours and buy new again? Just food for thought. 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Wow how did Audiotroll take the OP topic "Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2" so off topic! This thread should be shut down. 
Solid State Preamp Under $8000
How about the Merrill Christine pre? Have heard it in a friends system and this review was spot on:https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/christine-preamplifier-merrill-audio/There’s one FS on Agon at below your budget, something t... 
why so many gryphon diablo 300 integrated for sale now?
Never owned one or even heard one for that matter, did hear the big Gryphon system at Axpona this year and mighty impressed but as of today 4/21 there are 4 Diablo 300's for sale on Agon.  
If you loved the Bricasti Design room at Axpona take a look at the M15 amplifier
Agree the Bricasti room was tonality spot on, one of my top 3 or 4 rooms. If you just walked in you would not have been wowed but if you sat down for 10 minutes you knew it was special. I think it is the Bricasti DAC’s.  
What was your favorite speaker at Axpona 2019
From all the posts from Axpona we all hear things differently which is a good thing. I personally loved the Sanders speakers, to me the top end was anything but bright as per @josh358 comment. It was very smooth and extended is what I heard. I lov... 
The Harbeth phenomenon
Harbeth = boxy sound IMO. Not for me.
