congrats on going to a top tier store. maybe brian doesn't have the $100k clearaudio tt on display but he can guide you into some exceedingly great systems. he certainly has picked up the torch from his father Brooks Berdan. Brooks would be considered the friend of anyone who got to know him and his expertise was of the highest caliber.
my personal best improvement came when i snagged an Audio Research SP3a1. the difference between IT and my previous preamp, the adcom gfp 565, was jaw dropping. it completely undid my expectations from tubed electronics. i expected the soft top, squishy bottom, and juicy midrange but instead got dead flat frequency response seemingly from DC to Daylight, dynamic range that was unprecedented in my system, tonal coloration that was dead on, plus soundstaging and imaging that i had only dreamed of before.
it delivers the goods right on through the adcom 555II amp which holds up WAY better than their preamps. its a good way to go with tubes in the front end and ss in the drive.
enjoy your new upgraded sound, it is certainly gratifying to make a purchase like that.
