Difference between Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis?
No I have not. Loving the Bardo nothing has told me to look higher. 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Zephyr agree! I know it's not my phono stage or turntable b/c using 2 different conditioners all is fine, plug digital into the PP 2000 + all is fine, plug either the TT or phono stage into the PP and you get a hum out of the speakers. Unplug the ... 
Difference between Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis?
Just came across this thread. I have a Bardo in my system, one of the best tables I've had the pleasure of listening to. I've not had the chance to hear the tube power supply but placed a Prada Satori AC cord on the supplied PS of the Bardo and co... 
Sound of transformers in preamps?
Maybe the comment doesn't make sense but the sound sure does. The VRE beat out my Kondo M1000 all tube unit (which retailed at close to 90k) and yes has more of a tube sound than ss sound IMHO.(Dealer disclaimer) 
Stereophile Class A tables
I can tell you of a time Valin was completely unprofessional regarding reviewing my product called the Vibraplane. He received the unit and within hrs called me saying it was the next best thing other than sliced bread! He wrote a remarkable revie... 
Stereophile Class A tables

Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Phono is not grounded separately. I've tried a cheater plug on the phono and still get the hum, I can plug the phono straight into a Purist Audio conditioner or the wall as is and the hum goes away. Plug the phono into the PP and get a loud hum. 
Stereophile Class A tables
I own a Bardo and it's by far the best table I've had in a looooong time. It blows away my TTWeights table that couldn't even hold it's speed steady. Never heard the Balanced but some day will get a chance to compare them, hopefully.(Dealer discla... 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Received my unit back and working great BUT with analog I get a hum out of the speakers. Digital is dead quiet and plugging the phono stage into the wall all is fine. The PP guys are trying to figure out if there's some sort of ground loop problem... 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
I'm using a PAD 20th Anniversary cord but unfortunately since receiving my 2000+ back I get a hum thru the speakers when my analog is plugged into it so can not listen to the PP. PP is looking into why this is happening now but wasn't originally a... 
Which Rel subwoofer
Johnnyb you mean the JL Fathom F110. Yes the JL subs are special I went from the REL Stentors to a JL Fathom F113 and its faster, goes lower and has less distortion than the REL ever had. Plus no issues, the JL has worked flawlessly where I had re... 
Which Rel subwoofer
All I can say is I've had several RELs and had reliability issues, stay away from REL!

Yes discounts can be had and we do ship out of State but ONLY if there is no other dealer in your area selling that brand. (Dealer disclaimer)

Taters this is not the norm but for ANJ it is the case. 
Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of
Some companies have very profitable margins! Audio Note Japan (KONDO) for example sells their new Overture integrated at 3,200,000 Yen ($$38,800) and sells to the dealer for 898,000 Yen ($10,880). Although some dealers even mark the retail higher!...
