Power supply upgrade to Brinkmann?
Had all 3 power supplies with my Bardo, no big difference until you go with the Tubed unit but I'd put a better ac cord on the original unit which can make a HUGE difference IMO.

TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???
mated to a tube pre-amp (Atmasphere) and all tubed phono stage (23 tubed NVO). Now this makes me smile! 
Best DAC for around $10K new or used

Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I have to chime in, I've listened to a LOT of digital, bought and sold dacs and CDPs but have always been a vinyl guy and listen to about 90-95% analog that is until I heard the Briscasti M1. It's so neutral, detailed, musical, expansive all rolle...

Review: New Valve Order SPA II Tube preamp
Petermax we have the SPA-II/2 SE and also the new SPA-One SE in house. Yes the SPA-II/2 SE is better in resolution and beleive it or not the nosie floor has dropped but the ONE-SE is just unbeleivable! (Dealer disclaimer) 
Why so few balanced phono inputs?
