Simaudio's new power supply for LP 5.3

With the new power supply, the LP5.3 becomes a $2750 phono stage. I own one (without the power supply) and think it's a definite winner at $1500, but wonder if it remains competitive at close to $3K.

thanks for all of the insights - very helpful. I guess Drubin pretty much hit the nail on the head, though, as far as summing up my question.

I can't say if it is still competitive with other 3 or 4 k phono stages but it is the best i have heard in my system .I think you should see if your local audio shop would let you try one for a few days , i am sure you would keep it.
I am sure you will see some reviews coming out soon since Simaudio will be revealing the PSX5.3 at CES this week.

You can always try one through musicdirect.com and return it within 30 days if it doesnt work for you. In my case even without the new PSX the Sim was competitive with other $2.5K and up phonostages i had in my system. The new PSX just makes everything about it better.
