If the Brio does what you want. You could just keep it.

scary but I am enjoying my proarts so much I'm thinking of leaving them in and selling the wad....they've taken on a new life since running with the tvc

The Brio R is a very different animal to the earlier Rega amps which I heard ( and weren't keen on ) . They can be bought second hand at reasonable prices these days .

When I upgraded some cables, I got a huge jump. I'm looking for a similar jump with an amp. If I can't find it I'll stick with the brio, but as you imply "I want" is a powerful urge..

I'm thinking maybe a Creek Destiny 2, or a Croft PI. I thought about the Claymore on here, but I think not being able to switch source without the remote would get on my nerves...
Reality is I probably can't afford any of them, so that's why I'm looking idly at CDPs, though meanwhile I ordered a new laser mech for my CD6000 KI...

Get a Pioneer Stable Platter, cheap as chips and great through a decent dac. I sold a Perreaux CDt and kept a Pioneer PDS703 as neither me, nor half a dozen other geeky hifi mates, could tell which was playing through my MDAC.

Can you change the power lead in the Brio 3 . The Brio R does react very positively to the right power cable .

Very true. I've got a couple of PD-S505 Precision players and they sound so musical. They are brilliant as a transport into a good DAC.

You should hear one of these driven by a TVC pre.

I did actually pick up a fancy-ish one from Olivier on the for sale thread. No great change...
I also have a Clearaudio Nano Phono on loan, and it's not much better than the Brio stage...
