Yes, being how everyone loves their Yggy I figured I would try the Level 3 instead.

That's exactly what drove me away from tube gear: too much dependent on the combination of tubes! It's this annoying sensation that with some tube rolling one hits the sweet spot! It can be fun for some, to me it was just unnerving! But all the same, a beautiful turntable you sport in your collection! I envy you!

There usually is a consensus on what's the best of the best for each tube type, but that usually means the prices are astronomical for those tubes.
Buying a $3,000 amp is one thing, but buying $3,000 worth of tubes is another.
I am considering selling my GS-X MK2 230V in exchange for a 430HA. Based on my audition 430 has much better synergy with the Utopia. So if u are interested check out my listing and PM me. Also if you have a similar mint conditioned 430HA in 230V, I can happily trade with u.
If you like the 430HA better, that fine, go for it. I'd still suspect the source to be the culprit and not the GSX-Mk2.
Your audition was at home with your source set up or somewhere else using a different source ...?
It was with different source, but my understanding of the GSX is probably a little different from you. I hear it as a bit bright sounding.
