brizonbiovizier- Did it also have this lifeless quality with the addition of the Graham and/or Triplaner? May I ask what you have found that suited your tastes better since owing SME. I heard both Brinkmann Bardo and Spyder earlier this year, and liked only the Spyder. I found Bardo a bit unemotional sounding. Tonearm was exact same on both, which was REED.
