AMG V12 vs SME 20/12


Any thoughts or any one lucky enough to hear both?

Thanks in advance

Nothing too too high-end cable wise, I have a solid tech stand with the top HRS platform for the table. My 14B goes straight to the wall the rest Through a big Bryston /Torus BIT conditioner.
I'm with Jfrech. Try auditioning a tube phono stage or preamp at home. Either would give you a new window into your system; and you could always roll tubes to alleviate future boredom. I use a VAC pre-amp with my Bryston amps and like the synergy. I also have a Brinkmann DD, an Oasis.
So I guess no one has heard both........Anyways thanks for the replies.

Or how about this, anyone compare the top Bardo all options with the 10.5 against an AMG or SME 20/12?

Not sure about the AMG but the SME would allow me to upgrade to an MC Anna, may be a bit much for my 10.5.
Is there more than one version of the Bardo, or did you mean to ask about the
top Brinkmann turntable? I have heard the Bardo in two systems as well as the
Brinkmann Balance. I preferred the Balance.
Is there more than one version? well sort of yes, there are options like the glass/ stainless mat with clamp and a better power supply.

I should hope the Balance sounds better!
