Bluenote stibbert vs. modified units


Has anyone done a comparison with the highly regarded Bluenote Stibbert (I would buy a used one) against any of the modified units under $4000? Is there anyone in Chicago who might have the Bluenote that I can listen to? Bob

I finally did buy a Stibbert and the sound is as good as many on these boards have said. I was wondering what was the latest thought on power cords and replacement tubes. BobF has already given me some great tips but I was wondering what others were using. Bob
I use Ediswan CV2492 or Philips E88CC SQ (Holland Plant)Both excellent tubes. The Sound Fusion suspension kit is a must. Enjoy the Stibbert.
Fazoid, which grade of the Ediswans did you choose? I do hae the sound fusion kit. I do not have the vibe 2 on the top of the player. Is that essential? Bob
Bob, Platinum grade. Had a chance to get the Vibe 2 on the cheap and let it get buy so I use a Mapleshade Heavyhat on top with good results.
