Jfrech,
I went and listened to the PL-L and it is just as seductive as the VPS is. I thought for some reason only the phono section was tube in the PL-P and the PL-L was SS. DA on my part. I had listen to PL-P when it first came out, I liked it alot but at the time it was out of my price range. I also wanted to go balanced and it only had SE.

By the way the new BPS also sounds great. It is all SS.

I am going to try more of these Purist Cables they sound very good and my FMS stuff is getting old.

Enjoy.
Leo

Very nice purchase Jfrech. I tried the PLL a while ago I liked it alot but wanted to stay with tubes somewhere in my system. A tube preamp is a lot less money to retube than an amp, I'm getting old ya know LOL, 53 at the end of March.
For my birthday I purchase a new Purist Auqeous for my center speaker, now my front speaker cables match. I also ordered Nordost Valhalla for my VPS. Single ended pair for input and balanced for output. I felt the balanced sounded better to my Ref 3 than SE. I will now have both types so I can try them on differant equipment.
You might want to try them. The sound opened up even more, there was more space better seperation and definition around the instraments and the sound stage is taller if you knoew what I mean.
Happy listening.
