European Vibraplane?
Actusreus you must be talking about another platform and NOT the Vibraplane. We don't charge any sales tax on ANY equipment we sell (Thanks to the wonderful State of NH, Live Free or Die!) and second we only charge actual shipping charges and in f... 
Wanted Preamp
I had a Kondo M1000 ($95,000) and then was sent a SMC VRE-1b to try. It smoked the Kondo in every area. It has the best siunbdstage and 3D imaging of anything I've heard!(Dealer disclaimer) 
European Vibraplane?
Bydlo I understand all to well about shipping costs, even shipping these within the USA we charge customers between $175 - $225 so what we quoted you was extremely reasonable. It still adds that much more to the price and we haven't talked about i... 
European Vibraplane?
Just an FYI. The Vibraplane units made for SOS has 7 upgrades over a standard microscope Vibraplane. Things like added dampening under the top plate and skirt just to name 2. Do they sound the same? No, close but the ones for audio are sonically a...

Rdoc I've done extensive different grounding schemes for the analog and nothing has worked so currently using analog into a Purist Audio conditioner which goes into the PP and everything else into the PP2000+. 
Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter
I have the new PP2000+ and on my digital end it's the best to date but on my analog front it causes some sort of grounding issue. Can't figure it out. Want one cheap? 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Rdoc I now have tried using a cheater plug with ground wire and attaching the ground wire to any part of the PP chassis does nothing (except cause more hum and a scratching sound) BUT when I touch the wire to another chassis (phono chassis or my P... 
Sound of transformers in preamps?
Agree again...with my current 98 efficient speakers my 8 watt SET is sublime! Many nights I have to wear Depends while listening!!!! 
Sound of transformers in preamps?
Charles1dad you are 100% right. When I search for a pre (or any component for that matter) I don't say OK it has to have A or B or C. Yes I first think tubes and have had more tube amps than most normal people have had cars and the same goes for p...
