Difference between Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis?

Just came across this thread. I have a Bardo in my system, one of the best tables I've had the pleasure of listening to. I've not had the chance to hear the tube power supply but placed a Prada Satori AC cord on the supplied PS of the Bardo and couldn't believe what a difference it made. Yes the Satori cord is about the same cost of the tubed PS but I now can't listen to the Bardo without it.

I got the bit about the same bearing from Fremer:

"Brinkmann uses the same platter bearing in his belt-driven 'tables. While in those designs the bearing is electrically heated, that's not necessary in the Bardo, he says—the motor's quiescent current produces enough warmth."

I took this to mean that the bearing is heated, but by the motor itself rather than by the PS. Same bearing, different heating source. But I could easily be wrong.

Sksos1, have you compared the Bardo to the Balance, by chance, being a Brinkmann dealer?

No I have not. Loving the Bardo nothing has told me to look higher.

The dd motor will supply some heat to the bearing but not at the level of regulated precision as the discrete bearing heater in the thread drives. It's not strictly the same.
