I keep getting an annoying urge to slot one of these into my system. I don't need it, but I want it. Just as a back-up you understand.
If the Brio does what you want. You could just keep it.

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 keep getting an annoying urge to slot one of these into my system. I don't need it, but I want it. Just as a back-up you understand.

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.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

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

Grant, I'm thinking that you're looking to knock Jerry off the top of the box swappers premier league table.

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...
