I know this is an old thread but I just had my P-01 / D-01s / G-0Rb upgraded to VU status, it was now or never since the Grandioso series was introduced. Wow am I glad I did it.
I have been into high end sound and in the high end sound business for 35 years. Holy smokes. I've heard the latest DCS stack as well as many other major contenders but this blows their socks off. Never heard played back sound (yes, $100,000 turntables with $40,000 preamps included) sound like this. If any of you own this stack, send it to Japan NOW to get the VU upgrade, because they will likely be discontinuing it soon. Unbelievably incredible sound. Currently using it with Kharma Enigma power cords (best I've ever heard by far, and yes we sell Transparent) and Cardas Clear interconnects. I'd sell my first born before I parted with this. Amen.
