Bada Purer 3.3..any opinions or experience?

I am considering buying this hybrid with swamped out tube upgrades.A new version is on the way the 3.3SE with JAN 6189 tubes which I imagine will need to be swapped to obtain the best sound.I am currently running a Creek Destiny which will be for sale soon.I have PSB Platinum M2 mounted on the larger Tyler Acoustics stands filled with sand plus the, amazing for the money, PSB 5i sub .I have a TRL modded Marantz sa 8001 which is as good as digital gets on the front end IMHO.I use DH Labs for IC and cable( their best stuff ) and a PS Quintet power conditioner with Virtual Dynamics power 3 AC chords which sound good but are really unwieldy to use.I also have two sets Audioprism quietlines .

Any opinions or FB on this amp?

I received the Bada Purer 3.3se with the upgraded JAN 6189 tubes from Pacific Valve for about 2 weeks and this piece of gear is incredible!

I previously had a Adcom GFP-750 with a Bryston 3BST (which were not bad) but this thing just trumps that combo on every level.
I'm hearing so much more detail and separation of individual instruments it's scary. Huge sound stage and the tube warmth (although not overly soft like Conrad Johnson/Audio Research) along with the silky smooth highs is just sublime. All the things I thought were wrong about my system (digital source, DAC, phono preamp) have me now rethinking the whole system.

It truly is like hearing everything for the first time. Highly recommended.

To all Bada Purer 3.3se owners. Please try HIFI Tuning Suprem fuse in your amp it will bring a big boost its performance. The improvement is quite dramatic. I also put Xtreme cables quicksilver gold contact enhancer on the fuse. The fuse seems to keep improving about every 20 hours of playtime. My unit is at about 110 hours now. Amp seems even more powerful now, wider and deaper soundstage, more detailed and smoother. The fuse just pops out the back under the IEC.
